How do you solve 5 is _____ % of 25

Sagot :

Just put 5 over 25 and then simplify to get 1/5. Now put that into a decimal (.2) then put that decimal into percent form, 20%
Let the missing % be x.

Now, according to your question ;

5 = x% of  25

5 = x / 100 * 25

thus, 25x = 500

Thus, x = 500/25

= 20

Thus, 5 is 20% of 25.
