In order to calculate 3% of 5 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 5 = 100% and X = 3%. So our fraction will look like:

5
/
X
=
100%
/
3%

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

X = (5 × 3) ÷ 100

=

X = 15 ÷ 100

=

X = 0.15

Therefore, 3% of 5 is 0.15


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

X = (5 ÷ 100) × 3

=

X = 0.05 × 3

=

X = 0.15

So we got the same result again: 0.15
