This math topic focuses on calculating 5% of a number, serving as an introduction to understanding percentages. The problems provide a reference point by first stating what 10% of the number is, then asking students to compute 5% of the same number. Each question offers multiple-choice answers, which helps beginners practice and solidify their understanding of how to calculate basic percentages effectively. This is part of a broader unit on introductory percentages.
