0.59

Step-by-step explanation:
\begin{gathered} \text{Given:} \\ 5.9\text{ }*\text{ 10\%} \end{gathered}

To write the number in decimal form, we need to convert the percent to decimal:


\begin{gathered} 10\text{ \% = }(10)/(100) \\ 10\text{ \% = }(1)/(10) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 5.9\text{ }*\text{ 10\% = 5.9 }*\text{ }(1)/(10) \\ =\text{ 5.9 }*\text{ }0.1 \\ =\text{ }0.59 \end{gathered}
