How do you find X percent of Y?

To find X percent of Y, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, then multiply that decimal by Y. For example, 20% of 150 is calculated as 0.20 × 150 = 30.

Is 50% of 10 the same as 10% of 50?

Yes, percentages are commutative. X% of Y is exactly equal to Y% of X. This means (50/100) × 10 = 5, and (10/100) × 50 = 5.
