iii) $85\%$

Answer 1

Step : Expressing the given percentage as fraction in its lowest term
Given, $85\%$

[Remove the sign of percentage and at the same
time divide by 100. Then reduce the resulting
fraction obtained to its lowest term.]

$\therefore 85\%=\frac{17}{20}$
Hence, $85\%$ is $\frac{17}{20}$.
