Hi,

For this question, remember that 5% can be expressed as 0.05 and OF means multiplication. We can now state the following:

0.05 * 150 = 7.5 <==== FINAL ANSWER

I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

10% = 15, so 5% = 7.5
mathematically, 0.05 x 150 = 7.5

% means 1/100 so 5% = 5/100 so 5% of 150 = 150 *5/100 = 7.5

150 x 0.05 = 7.5
150/100 x 5 = 7.5

5% = 5/100 so 5% of 150 = 5/100 * 150 = 750/100 = 7.5
