Question

Given value of 0.52 in decimal 5

Answer 1

Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

- 5% = - 5 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

- 5% = - 5/100 = - 5 ÷ 100

Calculate percentage:

'Percentage' is obtained by multiplying 0.52 by - 5%

- 5% of 0.52 is equivalent to multiplying them:

- 5% × 0.52 = ?

- 5% × 0.52 =

(- 5 ÷ 100) × 0.52 =

(- 5 × 0.52) ÷ 100 =

- 2.6 ÷ 100 =

- 0.026 ≈

- 0.03

Proof.

How do we check the result?

If - 5% × 0.52 = - 0.026 =>

Divide - 0.026 by 0.52...

... And see if we get as a result: - 5%

Note:

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,

... and its value doesn't change.

n/100 = n%, any number.
