1. Understand the Percentage: The given percentage is 83.9%.

2. Dividing by 100: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. This is because percent means per hundred.

Mathematically, it can be represented as:

3. Perform the Division:
\(\(\text{Decimal value} = \frac{83.9}{100} \)\)

4. Decimal Representation:
The result of this division is 0.8390000000000001.
