In order to calculate 5% of 2 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 2 = 100% and X = 5%. So our fraction will look like:

2
/
X
=
100%
/
5%

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

X = (2 × 5) ÷ 100

=

X = 10 ÷ 100

=

X = 0.1

Therefore, 5% of 2 is 0.1


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 (5). To find 1% of a number 2 you need to divide it by 100:

X = (2 ÷ 100) × 5

=

X = 0.02 × 5

=

X = 0.1

So we got the same result again: 0.1
