Explanation:

Part 1: Write each percent as a decimal

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

1) \( 85\% \)

Step 1: Divide by 100

\( 85\% = \frac{85}{100} = 0.85 \)

Answer:

\( 0.85 \)

2) \( 83\% \)

Step 1: Divide by 100

\( 83\% = \frac{83}{100} = 0.83 \)
