In order to calculate 72% of 5 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 5 = 100% and X = 72%. So our fraction will look like:

5
X
=
100%
72%

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

X = (5 × 72) ÷ 100

=

X = 360 ÷ 100

=

X = 3.6

Therefore, 72% of 5 is 3.6

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

X = (5 ÷ 100) × 72

=

X = 0.05 × 72

=

X = 3.6

So we got the same result again: 3.6
