Here we will show you how to calculate what percent was used to get 5 from 500.
To get the answer, you multiply 5 by 100 and then divide it by 500. Here is the
formula to illustrate better:
(100 * X)/Y = Percent
If you insert X = 5 and Y = 500 into the formula above, you get:
(100 * 5)/500 = 1%
Therefore, the answer to the question "5 is what percent of 500?" is as follows:
5 is 1 percent of 500
We double-checked our answer above by calculating 1 percent of 500. 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 501?
