Steps to find the percentage of a number

Method 1: Using Proportions

Let's find 5% of 10.1 using proportion.

5% is 5 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 5 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 10.1.

\[ \frac{ 5 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 10.1 } \]

Cross-multiply: 5 × 10.1 = 100x

\[ 5 \cdot 10.1 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (5 × 10.1) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 50.5 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 5% of 10.1 is 0.505.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 5% to decimal: 0.05

\[ x = 10.1 \cdot 0.05 \]

Multiply 10.1 × 0.05 = 0.505

So, 5% of 10.1 is 0.505.

Method 3: Formula-Based

Use the formula: percent × whole = part

Convert 5% to decimal: 0.05

\[ \text{Percentage} \cdot \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

10.1 × 0.05 = 0.505

Thus, 5% of 10.1 is 0.505.
