Explanation:

1) 53% as a decimal

Step1: Recall the rule: To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100 (or move the decimal point two places to the left).

$53\%=\frac{53}{100} = 0.53$

Step1: Apply the percent - to - decimal conversion rule (divide by 100).

$83\%=\frac{83}{100}=0.83$

Step1: Use the conversion rule (divide the percent value by 100).

$19\%=\frac{19}{100} = 0.19$

Answer:

0.53
