Question

Write the percent as a fraction and as a decimal.

5% tax

Fraction (simplified) -
Decimal -​

Answer 1

Fraction =
`(1)/(20)` and Decimal = 0.05

Explanation:

Percent means, some number over a hundred.

in this case we have 5%

`(5)/(100) = (1)/(20)`

and for decimal form we just move the decimal 2 places to the left because our denominator is a 100 and we get 0.05.

Answer 2

Your answer is 0.05 because if you put 0.5 that is .50
