We know that 100% of 10, is 10 itself. In order to find out what percent of 10 is 5, we can create a simple ratio based on the information that we have. Lets call x the percentage 5 is in 10.
If 10 is 100%,
Then 5 is X %.
Cross multiply to create the equations, so 10 times x is equal to 5 times 100.
10x=500
Divide both sides with 10.
10x/10 = 500/10
x=50%
