Let the percent value that we are looking for be x

Next is to represent the situaton as a mathematical expression

To get what percent of 5 will give 4, we will write it as;

x% of 5 = 4

x/100 * 5 = 4

5x/100 = 4

Cross multiply

5x = 400

Divide both sides by 4;

5x/5 = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore we can conclude that 80% of 5 will give 4
