5 percent of 60 calculation explanation

In order to calculate 5% of 60 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 60 = 100% and X = 5%. So our fraction will look like:

60
X
=
100%
5%

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

X = (60 × 5) ÷ 100

=

X = 300 ÷ 100

=

X = 3

Therefore, 5% of 60 is 3


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 60 you need to divide it by 100:

X = (60 ÷ 100) × 5

=

X = 0.6 × 5

=

X = 3

So we got the same result again: 3
