STEP 2

1. Define the variable.
2. Set up the equation.
3. Solve the equation for the percentage.

STEP 3

Let x x be the percentage we are trying to find.

STEP 4

Set up the equation based on the problem statement.
x%×10=5 x\% \times 10 = 5
Convert the percentage to a decimal.
x100×10=5 \frac{x}{100} \times 10 = 5

STEP 5

Solve the equation for x x .
Multiply both sides by 100 to eliminate the fraction.
x×10=500 x \times 10 = 500
