Question

What percentage of 50 is 5? A  0.5 B  1 C  0.25 D  0.1​

Answer 1

Step 1: We make the assumption that 50 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=50$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=5$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=50(1)$.

$x\%=5(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

x%\ 100%= 5 / 50

x = 10 %

x = 0.1

Answer 2

Answer:

We will get 10%=0.1 of 50is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

        Given data:- x% of 50is 5.

        To find:-Value of x%.

        Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.

• It is denoted by %.

• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

        Therefore,

         $x\% \ of\ 50\ is\ 5\\\\=>\frac{x}{100}\times50=5\\\\=>\frac{50x}{100}=5 \\\\=>50x=5\times100\\\\=>50x=500\\\\=>x=\frac{500}{50}\\\\=>x= 10\%.$

         so that we get,

           $10\%\\\\=\frac{10}{100}\\\\=0.1.$
