Question

What percent of $5x$ is equal to $x/5$?

Answer 1

4%

Explanation:

Let y% of 5x is equal to
`(x)/(5).`

`y\% \: of \: 5x = (x)/(5) \\ \\ \therefore \: (y)/(100) * 5x = (x)/(5) \\ \\ \therefore \: y = (x)/(5 * 5x) * 100 \\ \\ \therefore \: y = (1)/(25) * 100 \\ \\ \therefore \: y = 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: 4\% \: of \: 5x \: is \: equal \: to \: (x)/(5)`
