<em>Additional comment</em>
Many calculators and all spreadsheets can work with percentages directly. If yours can't, or if you can't do this arithmetic mentally, you can use the equivalent decimal or fraction for 5%.
5% = 5/100 = 0.05 = 1/20
Then 5% × $640 = $640/20 = $64/2 = $32.

In 1 hour, Antoine travels 1.75 mi by dividing 5.25 by 3. So, after lunch, he hiked 4 hours. 1.75 times 2 is 3.5 mi every hour after lunch. So, 3.5 times 4 is 14 mi. + 5.25 is 19.25 mi., or 19 1/4 miles.
