A recent report indicated that a certain state had the lowest percentage of residents with no health insurance at 9 9/10%. Express the percent as a decimal.

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

percent = 9 9/10 %

Step 02:

percent ===> decimal

$9\text{ }\frac{9}{10}\text{ = 9 + }\frac{9}{10}=\frac{90+9}{10}=\frac{99}{10}=9.9$
