Answer:

0.11

Explanation:

You would convert the percentage to a fraction. Since the % symbol means 'out of 100', you would put 11 over 100: 11/100.

Then you would convert the fraction to a decimal: 0.11.

An easier way could also be to take the percentage and move it two decimal places to the right.

Ex: 43% moved two decimal places to the right would be 0.43.

I hope this helps!
