Answer 2

Hey ! there

Answer:

• Simplest fraction form of 85% is 17/20 .

Explanation:

Question says that we have to write the simplest form of 85% as it's fraction .

Solution : -

`\quad \longrightarrow \qquad \:85\%`

We know that ,

• Percent ( % ) = 1/100

So ,

`\quad \longrightarrow \qquad \: 85 * (1)/(100) \:`

or ,

`\quad \longrightarrow \qquad \: (85)/(100)`

Reducing the fraction by cancelling it by 5 :

`\quad \longrightarrow \qquad \: \frac{ \cancel{85}}{ \cancel{100}}`

We get :

`\quad \longrightarrow \qquad \: \pink{\underline{\boxed{\frak{(17)/(20) }}}} \quad \bigstar`

Now , we can't reduce 17/20 .

• Henceforth , 17/20 is the simplest form of 85% .
