85% is 85 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 85 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 1.

\[ \frac{ 85 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 1 } \]

Cross-multiply: 85 × 1 = 100x

\[ 85 \cdot 1 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (85 × 1) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 85 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 85% of 1 is 0.85.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 85% to decimal: 0.85

\[ x = 1 \cdot 0.85 \]

1 × 0.85 = 0.85

Thus, 85% of 1 is 0.85.
