5% of 320 = ____?

like duh.....16

320 x 5%
= 320 x 5/100
= 320 x 1/20
= 320/20
= 16

5% of 320 = 5/100 x 320
= 16.

In order to do this problem in your head, think about 10%.
320.00 where you move the decimal
32.000, now, from here, you can divide by two.
16! And, now, you have a way of doing this in your head.

Add them together, 32 + 16 = 48 is 15% of 320
But, there is another thing to note about percents.
per (by) cent (hundred) 15% = .15
divide by hundred to convert the percent to a number.
Multliply this converted percent by what you want a percent of.
Ex. 320 * .05 = 16

"of" in a math problem means multiply
so...
.05(the decimal version of 5%) x 320= 16!!!!!

16

To change from a percentage to a decimal, take the percentage divided by 100:

5% = 5/100 = .05

Now take that decimal and multiply it by 320 to get your answer:

.05 * 320 = 16

320 x .05 = 16

0.05 x 320 = 16
