An inflatable swimming pool held 1,000 gallons of water. It sprang a leak, and 5% of the water leaked out of the pool.

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want a percent as a decimal so you can divide you must make it a decimal for example in your case it would be like this, 0.05, then all you do is divide 1,000 by 0.05
