Answer 1

EXPLANATION

We can write 85% in decimal form by dividing this number by 100:

`decimalform_(85)\text{=}(85)/(100)=0.85`

Now, we can write it as simplified fraction by applying the same procedure:

`\text{Simplified fraction}_(85)=(85)/(100)=(17)/(20)`

Hence, the answers are: Decimal-->0.85, Simplified Fraction --> 17/20
