Let’s talk about 5 percent.
It’s 0.05. It’s 5 out of 100. Reduced to its lowest form, it’s 1 out of 20 or 1/20.
Some of you may associate 5 percent with how much booze is in each Budweiser or how much cash you get back on your credit card for pharmacy purchases this month. This is random, did you know only 5 percent of all babies are born on their due date? 5 percent of all babies have hazel eyes too.
Sports fans may associate 5 percent with Anthony Davis’ career block percentage or the chances Ben Simmons makes a free throw.
