Easy 5 % means 5/100 so 75 *5/100 = 3.75

Convert 5% to decimal
5/100 = 0.05
Multiply 75.00 times the decimal
75.00 x 0.05 = 3.75
The answer is 3.75 is 5% of 75.00

5% means 5 divided by 100 = 1/20 or 0.05
so 5% of 75 is 0.05 x 75 = 3.75
or 1/20 x 75 = 75/20 = 3.75
answer £3.75

Hi Frankie!
Just multiply the value by 5/100. Which gives you 75*0.05 = 3.75.
Hope I've helped on something!

To find x% of any number (lets call this number 'y'), you need to divide y by 100 and then multiply by x (or multiply by x then divide by 100, or multiply y by (x/100), it doesn't really matter, but the first method gives you smaller, more manageable numbers!!)
...SO...
5% of 75...
x = 5
y = 75
...ANSWER...
(y/100)*x = (75/100) * 5
= 0.75*5
= £3.75

5 divided by 100, multiplied by 75.
Any time you have a sum to find the percentage of something, you put the percent over 100 and multiply by the number you are trying to find the percent of!
What level of school are you at? Are you allowed to use calculators?
