Well, honey, 5 cents is one twentieth of a dollar. So, if you're feeling fancy, you can say it's 1/20 of a dollar. But let's be real, it's just a nickel. So, go buy yourself a piece of gum and enjoy that 1/20th of a dollar like the baller you are.

Oh, dude, 5 cents is like 1/20th of a dollar. So, if you want to be all technical about it, 5 cents is 1/20 of a dollar. But who really cares about fractions when you can just buy a candy bar with that 5 cents instead?

It is 5/100 which can be simplified, if required.
