$\textsf{ \bullet Count the number of digits after the decimal}$

In this case, number of digits after the decimal are $\mathsf{"2"}$

$\textsf{ \bullet Now, Remove the decimal and multiply} \\ \textsf{both numbers}$

=> $\mathsf{85 \times 01 = 85}$

$\textsf{ \bullet Now, put the decimal before the 2 digits} \\\textsf{from left.}$

$\textsf{[Since, that was where the decimal} \\\textsf{ was originally.]}$

$=> \boxed{\mathsf{ .85}}$
