5 percent of 300 calculation explanation

In order to calculate 5% of 300 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 300 = 100% and X = 5%. So our fraction will look like:

300
X
=
100%
5%

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

X = (300 × 5) ÷ 100

=

X = 1500 ÷ 100

=

X = 15

Therefore, 5% of 300 is 15


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 300 you need to divide it by 100:

X = (300 ÷ 100) × 5

=

X = 3 × 5

=

X = 15

So we got the same result again: 15
