a nickle is what percent of a dollar

5/100 = 0.05

Move the decimal point two places to the right.

0.05 = 5%

Five percent. Since it's already out of a hundred you could just make it to a percent easily . . .

To determine what percent a nickel is of a dollar, you need to use the following formula:

Percentage = (Value ÷ Total Value) x 100

In this case, the value of the nickel is 5 cents, and the total value of a dollar is 100 cents. Let's calculate the percentage:

Percentage = (5 ÷ 100) x 100 = 5%

Therefore, a nickel is 5 percent of a dollar.
