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% .
