In order to calculate 10% of 5 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 5 = 100% and X = 10%. So our fraction will look like:

5
/
X
=
100%
/
10%

Now we can solve our fraction by writing it as an equation:

X = (5 × 10) ÷ 100

=

X = 50 ÷ 100

=

X = 0.5

Therefore, 10% of 5 is 0.5


Another way to solve our problem is to find the value of 1% of the number and then multiply it by the number of percent (10). To find 1% of a number 5 you need to divide it by 100:

X = (5 ÷ 100) × 10

=

X = 0.05 × 10

=

X = 0.5

So we got the same result again: 0.5
