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
