In order to calculate 5% of 40 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 40 = 100% and X = 5%. So our fraction will look like:

40
/
X
=
100%
/
5%

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

X = (40 × 5) ÷ 100

=

X = 200 ÷ 100

=

X = 2

Therefore, 5% of 40 is 2

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 40 you need to divide it by 100:

X = (40 ÷ 100) × 5
