Question

What is the 5% of 300

Answer 1

15
300*5/100 =15
That's all

Answer 2

15.
the best way to do it is see the % as a decimal in my opinion, then plug it into a calculator. just move the decimal over to the left 2 times, then multiply the number you're taking the percent out of. So, in this case it would be:
300x.05
which is 15
