Three ways to work it out

All three give the same answer — pick whichever is easiest to do in your head for these numbers.

Method	Working	Result
Decimal	200 × 0.05	10
Divide by 100 first	(200 ÷ 100) × 5 = 2 × 5	10
Ten-percent chunks	10% of 200 = 20, then × 0.5	10

Nearby percentages of 200

Handy when you are comparing a tip, a discount, or a tax rate rather than one fixed figure.

Percent	of 200	200 minus it
5%	10	190
10%	20	180
15%	30	170
20%	40	160
25%	50	150
50%	100	100

The last column is what is left after taking that percentage off — the number you actually pay after a discount, or keep after a deduction.

The reverse question

Going the other way — 10 is what percent of 200? — divides instead of multiplying: (10 ÷ 200) × 100 = 5%. That is the form to use when you know the part and the whole but not the rate, such as working out a score as a percentage or how much a price moved.

And to find the whole from the part: if 10 is 5% of some number, that number is 10 ÷ 0.05 = 200.
