Answer:

a) .82, b) 41/50

Explanation:

a) The decimal form would be 0.82 - when writing a percentage as a decimal, we use 0.0-1.0 to represent 0% through 100%. Since it is 82%, it would translate to .82!

b) Since it is 82% out of 100%, we would write the fraction as 82/100. Additionally, you can divide it by 2 to get 41/50, thus reaching its simplest form!
