What is 5 percent of 1010?
Answer: 50.5
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 5 percent of 1010 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 5% of 1010
5% can also be written as 5/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 5/100 × 1010
Or, X = 0.05 × 1010
So, X = 50.5
So, 5% of 1010 is 50.5
(You may also first multiply 5 with 1010, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)
% of
=
Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 5
RHS = 50.5/1010 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.05 × 100
So, RHS = 5
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
