Using the form 0.00 what is 17% as a decimal.

Answer 1

0.17

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

`x\text{ percent=x of every 100=}(x)/(100)`

then.

Step 2

`\begin{gathered} 17\text{ percent=}(x)/(100) \\ \text{then} \\ 17\text{ percent=17 of every 100=}(17)/(100) \\ 17\text{ percent=0.17} \end{gathered}`
