$10$

A percent is the same as a fraction, but out of $100$ .

Write it exactly as you say it:

Find $5%$ of $200$

$5/100 xx200$

$=10$

You can also realise that $5%$ of $100$ is $5$ ,

so $5%$ of $200$ will be $10$

Percentage mean upon 100, so $x%=x/100$

Here it is $5%$ of $200$ , wherever there is an "of" simply multiply

$5% " of " 200 = 5/(1cancel00)xx2cancel00$

You are left with

$5xx2$

$10$

That means

$5%" of " 200 = 10$
