what is five percent out of a hundred?
I'm assuming you wanted the answer of 5/100 in decimal form.
To do this, first observe the denominator of the fraction. 5 is being divided by 100, correct? And 100 is the same thing as 10^2 (or 10 * 10). When converting a fraction to a decimal, you would have to move the decimal point of the numerator to the left depending on how many zeros there are in the denominator. In this case, the decimal point of the numerator is right after the '5', and the denominator has two zeros. So by moving the decimal point two places to the left of 5, we would get 0.05, and that is the decimal form of the fraction 5/100.
