50 percent

Let the percentage be $x$

$x$ percent of 5 = 2.5

$x /100 * 5 = 2.5$

$x = (2.5 * 100) / 5$

$x= 50$

So, 2.5 is 50% of 5.

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

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

$"fraction" xx 100%$

$2.5/5 xx 100%$

= $1/2 xx 100%$

= $50%$
