![**Question:**
"10 is 5% of what number?"
(A red asterisk indicates this is a required question.)
**Explanation:**
To find out what number 10 is 5% of, use the formula for percentage:
\[ \text{Part} = \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right) \times \text{Whole} \]
Rearranging to find the whole:
\[ \text{Whole} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right)} = \frac{10}{0.05} = 200 \]
Therefore, 10 is 5% of 200.
