Answer: " 5.1 " .
____________

Step-by-step explanation:
____________

To find 1 percent (i.e. " 1% " ) of: 510 ;

Note: 1 % = (1 /100) = (1 ÷ 100) ;

Note the following about "dividing by "100" ;

We take the number: "510" in our case;
and move the decimal point "2 (two) places backward" .
We move it "backward" (instead of "forward") because we are "dividing" ;

and we are moving the decimal point "2 (two)" spaces backward; since we are dividing by "100" ; which has "2 (two) zeros" .
So: " (510.) ÷ 100 " ;

Take: " 510." ; and move the decimal point two (2) spaces backward:
5.10.
↩

To get: " 5.10 " ; which we can simplify as:
→ " 5.1 " ; which is our answer.
