What is 17% expressed as a decimal?

17.0
1.7
.17
.017

Explanation

Answer: C - 17% expressed as a decimal is .17. A simple approach is to pretend the percentage sign is a decimal and then move the decimal 2 places to the left.

To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage value by 100. In this case, to convert 13% to a decimal, you would divide 17 by 100:

17 ÷ 100 = 0.17

Therefore, 17% expressed as a decimal is 0.17
