It is a simple question on decimal representation. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and their representation in decimal format. A whole number is a number without fractions; it is complete. A decimal is a way to represent numbers using a dot (.) to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part. Since 85 is a whole number, its decimal representation is straightforward.
