50 percent

Let the percentage be $x$ $x$

$x$ $x$ percent of 5 = 2.5

$\frac{x}{100} \cdot 5 = 2.5$ $x /100 * 5 = 2.5$

$x = \frac{2.5 \cdot 100}{5}$ $x = (2.5 * 100) / 5$

$x = 50$ $x= 50$

So, 2.5 is 50% of 5.

$2.5 \cdot \frac{100}{50}$ $2.5*100/50$

or $\frac{100}{2}$ $100/2$

2.5 is half of 5, which is $50 %$ $50%$

A percent that one quantity is of another can be calculated as:

$fraction×100%$ $"fraction" xx 100%$

$\frac{2.5}{5} \times 100 %$ $2.5/5 xx 100%$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 100 %$ $1/2 xx 100%$

= $50 %$ $50%$
