Question

How do you find 10% of a number?

Answer 1

`10%` means `1/10` or divide by `10`

Explanation:

`10%` is the same as the fraction `10/100` which is `1/10`

To find one tenth of a number, simply divide it by `10`.

The easiest way to do that is to :

• cross off a zero at the end if there is one
• move the decimal one place to the left.

`10%` of `250 = 25cancel0 =25`

`10%` of `38.7 = 3.87`

`10% " of " 4700 = 470`
