To find the answers equivalent to 85%, we can use the information given:
0.085 is equivalent to 8.5%.
0.85 is equivalent to 85%.
85/100 is equivalent to 85%.
19/20 is equivalent to 95%.

85/100
To find the equivalent values to 85%, we need to express 85% in decimal, fraction, and possibly other forms. Here's how:
1. Decimal: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide it by 100. So, 85% as a decimal is 0.85.
2. Fraction: To express a percentage as a fraction, place the percentage number over 100 and simplify if possible. Therefore, 85% as a fraction is 85/100, which can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5, resulting in 17/20.
Now that we have the decimal (0.85) and fraction (17/20) forms, let's check the given options:
- 0.085####: This decimal is not equivalent to 85% since it is much smaller. (Incorrect)
- 0.85: This decimal is equivalent to 85%, as mentioned earlier. (Correct)
- 85/100: This fraction is equivalent to 85%, as mentioned earlier. (Correct)
- 19/20####: This fraction may appear similar to 17/20, but it is not equivalent to 85%. (Incorrect)
Therefore, the options that are equivalent to 85% are 0.85 and 85/100.
