Question

What percent of 10 is 5

Answer 1

Hey there,

10 percent *5 =

(10:100)*5 =

(10*5):100 =

50:100 = 0.5

Step 1: Our output value is 5.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above,5=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=10%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

5=100%(1).

x=10%(2).

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

5/x= 100/10

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/5=10/100

x=0.5

Therefore, 10% of 5 is 0.5

Hope this helps if so please mark brainiest!!!
