5% is 5 out of 100.

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

Write the proportion to find x out of 2000.

\[ \frac{ 5 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 2000 } \]

Cross-multiply: 5 × 2000 = 100x

\[ 5 \cdot 2000 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (5 × 2000) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 10000 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 5% of 2000 is 100.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Convert 5% to decimal: 0.05

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

2000 × 0.05 = 100

Thus, 5% of 2000 is 100.
