Question

If 15% is $375, how much is 5%

Answer 1

`15\%-\$375\ \ \ \ |divide\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{5\%-\$125}`

Answer 2

percentages are values given by a fraction of 100
15 % of the value is equivalent to $375
then 100 % of the value is equivalent to -
`(375*15)/(100)`
therefore whole amount is = $ 2500
now we have to find how much of this value is 5%
5% of 2500 =
`(5)/(100) * 2500 = 125`
therefore 5% of 2500 is $125
correct answer is $125
