0.005% as a decimal is

0.00005

Percent means “per hundred”: 0.005% = 0.005/100. Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places left, so the decimal is exact. Under 1% the decimal is under 0.01: 0.00005, not 0.005.

percent	0		0	0	.	0	0	5	%
		← 2
decimal	0	.	0	0		0	0	5

÷ 100: the decimal point moves 2 places left

0.005 ÷ 100 = 0.00005
