5 1/4 percent could also be expressed as 5.25 percent. The word 'percent' means 'of one hundred.' In other words, 5.25 percent of 100 is equal to 5.25. To reflect 5.25 percent as a fraction, 5.25 becomes the numerator and 100 is the denominator. Solve for the decimal...divide 5.25 (the numerator) by 100 (the denominator) to achieve 0.0525. Or, to reflect 5.25 percent as a decimal, simply move the decimal point two places to the left, or .0525.
Any number multiplied by .0525 will provide the answer to the question: "What is 5 1/4% of (number)?"

5 1/4 is a mixed number. As a fraction you would multiply 5 x 4 then add 1 so it would 21/4 as a fraction. as a decimal it would be 5.25. as a percent it would be 525%.

5 x 4 = 20 and 20 + 1 = 21 so the fraction is 21/4 and the decimal is 5.25 and ou get the decimal by dividing 4 by 21

You take the percent and divide by 100
5 1/4 is 5.25
5.25% = 0.0525 in dec
21/400 in fraction

If you mean 5 1/4%, then its .0525 and 525/10000.

(1/4)*25=25/100=0,25
5 1/4=5+0,25=5,25
