Answer:

To find the percentage of a decimal number, you move the decimal point over two places to the right. Then you put the percent sign at the front of the number. To find the amount of a number, you divide that number into your whole number for example, 10% of 100 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so let's use 2 and 5.

so you would divide 2 and 5 since you need to find a decimal of the number. Or you can think of it as a fraction. 2/5. How my teacher taught me this was to think of the division symbol. since the numerator is on top, you would move it inside the division symbol. and that leaves you with the 5 which would be what you divide by. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DIVIDE THE NUMERATOR BY THE DENOMINATOR. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

so dividing 2 and 5 would give you 0.4. Making it 40%

HOPE IT HELPS. ^.^
