Answer: 0.58

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

So we can think of 58% as the ratio 58 to 100 or 58/100.

Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left so 58/100 would move the decimal point 2 places to the left which would give us .58 or 0.58. So 58% can be written as the decimal 0.58.
