Answer:

0.17 in decimal form

Explanation:

"Percent" means "over 100". To convert 17% to a decimal rewrite 17 percent in terms of per 100 or over 100, so 1% would be 0.01. 17% would be 0.17, due to the tenths place.

Remove the percent sign % and divide by 100.

17 ÷ 100 = 0.17

Hope this helps! :3
