#10#

A percent is the same as a fraction, but out of #100#.

Write it exactly as you say it:

Find #5%# of #200#

#5/100 xx200#

#=10#

You can also realise that #5%# of #100# is #5#,

so #5%# of #200# will be #10#

Percentage mean upon 100, so #x%=x/100#

Here it is #5%# of #200#, wherever there is an "of" simply multiply

#5% " of " 200 = 5/(1cancel00)xx2cancel00#

You are left with

#5xx2#

#10#

That means

#5%" of " 200 = 10#
