      To find a specific percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percentage.  Percentages are in 100ths, so 60% would be .60   
       As Benthere showed you, 5% is .05.   1.00 is 100%.

        14.5  is divided by 100 give you 0.145


        multiply that by the percent you need 5 time 0.145=0.725

          Try to answer newer questions that don't already have correct answers. People get annoyed when they get e-mail alerts that their question has been answered when they've already had it answered properly weeks ago. ;)
          Welcome to the forum. Any questions, just ask.

          I can appreciate that but it was a homework question and it's 25 days old. I just wanted to make you aware that we do get people who come back complaining about the e-mail alerts and wanting to know how to remove themselves from the site. We prefer for them to keep using us, rather than leave us ;)
