Question

if 15% is $375, how much is 5%

Answer 1

$15\%-\ 375\ \ \ \ |divide\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{5\%-\ 125}$

Answer 2

percentages are values given by a fraction of 100
15 % of the value is equivalent to $375
then 100 % of the value is equivalent to - $\frac{375*15}{100}$
therefore whole amount is = $ 2500
now we have to find how much of this value is 5%
5% of 2500 = $\frac{5}{100} * 2500 = 125$
therefore 5% of 2500 is $125
correct answer is $125
