What is [tex]$5\%$[/tex] of [tex]$210$[/tex]?

[tex]x = \square \times 210[/tex]

[tex]x =[/tex]

Answer :

To find [tex]$5\%$[/tex] of [tex]$210$[/tex], we can start by converting the percentage to a decimal. Recall that a percentage is simply a number divided by [tex]$100$[/tex]. Therefore,

[tex]$$
5\% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05.
$$[/tex]

Next, we multiply the decimal by the base value:

[tex]$$
210 \times 0.05.
$$[/tex]

Performing this multiplication gives:

[tex]$$
210 \times 0.05 = 10.5.
$$[/tex]

Thus, we can express the calculation as:

[tex]$$
x = 0.05 \times 210,
$$[/tex]

and the final result is:

[tex]$$
x = 10.5.
