What is 5 as a percent?

Answer 1

If 1 is 100% then 5 is 500%, but it depends on what the whole is (in the previous example 1 is a whole). To find the percent of any number, multiply it by 100 then put a percent sign next to it.

Answer 2

To convert any decimal to percent, simply multiply the decimal by 100.

• Putting your example into the equation we get: 0.5 × 100 = 50(%)

Answer 3

That is 50 percent.
