Solution:

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
