Step-by-step solution

The problem

{1}\% \text{ of } {500}

  1. Change 1% to a decimal. Divide by 100.

    1\% = 1 \div 100 = 0.01
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{0.01} \times 500

  2. Multiply. Leave out the decimal points and multiply, then put the point back. Count the decimal places: 0.01 has 2, so the answer has 2.

    \begin{aligned} 1 \times 500 &= 500 \\[10pt] 500 \div 100 &= 5 \end{aligned}
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{5}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &{1}\% \text{ of } {500} \\[8pt] &= 0.01 \times 500 && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{percent → decimal}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{5} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{multiply}}\end{aligned}
