Question

x% of 15 - 5% of x = 10​

Answer 1

To calculate 10 percent of a number, simply divide it by 10 or move the decimal point one place to the left. For example, 10 percent of 230 is 230 divided by 10, or 23. 5 percent is one half of 10 percent. To calculate 5 percent of a number, simply divide 10 percent of the number by 2.
