What is 5 percent off 350000?

10% = 35000

5% = 17500

or 350000/20 since 1/20 is 5%

From different person:

I personally the answer can be even easier to understand as well as more precise.

5% = 5 / 100

so 5% of 350000 is

350000 x (5 / 100) = (350000 / 100) x 5 (multiplication is commutable)

= 3500 x 5

Now you can do the rest, same old stuff.
