Question
Hi Pawan
What percentage is 5.000 of 283.000 and how did you arrive at the answer
Thank you


Answer
Barry,

Suppose 5 is 'x' percentage of 283.

So write above statement in mathematical form as:

5 = (x/100) * 283
5*100 = x*283
500 = x*283
x = 500/283
x = 1.77

So 5 is 1.77 percentage of 283.

I hope this helps you. Kindly let me know if you need additional information.

Regards,
Pawan
