10% is by far the simplest, so let’s start there. Don’t
worry, we’ll get to hard ones soon!
10% of 285 = 28.5
All we did was move the decimal from 285. to 28.5!
HOW TO CALCULATE 5%
Calculating 5% is almost the same as finding 10%, except the
number is half the size. There are only two steps, and they can be done in
either order!- Find
10% (by moving the decimal place one digit over)
- Half
the number (by dividing by 2)
5% of 264 = 13.2
- 10% of
264 = 26.4

of that is 13.2
