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!!!
