Here we will show you how to calculate what percent was used to get 5 from 40.
To get the answer, you multiply 5 by 100 and then divide it by 40. Here is the
formula to illustrate better:
(100 * X)/Y = Percent
If you insert X = 5 and Y = 40 into the formula above, you get:
(100 * 5)/40 = 12.5%
Therefore, the answer to the question "5 is what percent of 40?" is as follows:
5 is 12.5 percent of 40
We double-checked our answer above by calculating 12.5 percent of 40. When we did this, the
answer was 5, which confirms that our math above is correct. (Note that the answer on this page may be rounded.)
5 is what percent of 41?
