Question

If 25% of a number is 10, find 5% of that number.

Answer 1

0.125

Explanation:

Answer 2

5% of 40 is 2

Explanation:

number = x

25% of x is = 10

25% = 25/100, or 1/4

`(1)/(4)x = 10`

multiply each side by 4

`x = 40`

5% is 5/100, or 1/20

`(1)/(20)x = ?`

plug-in the known value

`(1)/(20)*40 = ?\\(40)/(20) = ?\\(4)/(2) = ?\\\\? = 2`
