Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a percentage to a fraction, we place the percentage over 100 and simplify. Thus, 95% is equal to $\frac {95}{100}$. This fraction can be simplified to $\frac {19}{20}$. To convert a percentage to a decimal, we divide by 100. Thus, 95% is equal to 0.95. Choice C ($\frac {19}{20}$; 0.95) matches both of these conversions.
