Question

Find the whole quantity if 5 percent of it is 500​

Answer 1

10,000

Explanation:

500/0.05= 10,000

You take the amount you are given divided by the decimal form of the percentage you are given to find the answer. It's a reverse from the way you find 5% of 10,000.

0.05=5%

Check your work: 10,000*5%= 500
