To determine the experimental probability of a coin landing on heads based on Dave's experiment, we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the total number of flips.
- Dave flips the coin 100 times. So, the total number of flips is 100.

2. Identify the number of heads.
- Out of these 100 flips, the coin lands on heads 47 times.

3. Calculate the experimental probability.
- The experimental probability of an event is given by the formula:
\(\[ \text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of times the event occurs}}{\text{Total number of trials}} \]\)
- For heads, this means substituting the number of heads and the total number of flips into our formula:
\(\[ \text{P(heads)} = \frac{47}{100} \]\)

4. Simplify the fraction to a decimal.
- Dividing 47 by 100:
\(\[ \frac{47}{100} = 0.47 \]\)

Thus, the experimental probability of the coin landing on heads is:
\(\[ \text{P(heads)} = 0.47 \]\)

So, the answer is \(\( \text{P(heads)} = 0.47 \)\).
