Answer:
10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide the 5 to 50
5/50 = 0.1 then multiply to 100%
the result is 10%
Remember when it comes to finding the Base, Rate, and Percentage:
PBR Triangle formula:
If the Base (B) is missing, Percentage (P) ÷ Rate [%] (R)
If the Rate [%] (R) is missing, Percentage (P) ÷ Base (B)
If the Percentage (P) is missing, Base (B) × Rate (R)
When dividing the Percentage by the Rate or the Base, the Percentage should always be the dividend while the Rate or Base should be the divisor.
Also, when converting the rate into a decimal, move the decimal place of the rate twice to the left, and when converting from decimal to percent, move the decimal place of the decimal twice to the right.
Whereas, when dividing the whole number (dividend) by the decimal (divisor), move the decimal place of both dividend and the divisor to the right until the divisor becomes a whole number.
Question:
What percent of 50 is 5?
Solution & Answer:
- If 50 is the base, while 5 is the percentage, divide the percentage to the base.
⇒ 5 ÷ 50
⇒ 0.1
- Convert the decimal to a percent by moving its decimal to the right twice.
⇒ 10%
Therefore, the missing rate is 10%.
