One percent is equal to one hundredth, 1/100, also written .01
So, convert your percentage to a decimal, .05 and multiply that by the original number, 7200.00.
7200 x .05 = 360

5 percent of 7200.00 is 360
u can do this by changing the percent to a decimal
for example:
5% is .05 in decimal form
10% is .10
15% is .15 and so on
then you just multiply the decimal by the number of which you want the percent taken so .05 * 7200.00 is 360

well break it down. 10% of 7200.00 is 720. and you need half of that...so divide 720/2 which equals 360. or you can just divide 7200.00 by 5 which will give you the same answer :0
