Question

A recent report indicated that a certain state had the lowest percentage of residents with no health insurance at 8 %, Express the percent as a decimal.48% = 11 (Type an integer or a decimal)

Answer 1

To express x% as a decimal , we have

`x\%=(x)/(100)=(x*0.01)`

Given that a recent report indicated that a certain state had the lowest percentage of residents with no health insurance at 8 %, expressing the percent as a decimal, we have

`\begin{gathered} 8\%=(8)/(100)=8*0.01 \\ =0.08 \end{gathered}`

Hence, as a decimal, we have

`0.08`
