what verb do we use with percentage?

[panosgr]

Hello all,

I want to write something like the following

- blah blah, 5 out of 10 translates to 50%.

Is the verb "translates" suitable or should i use another one?

many thanks in advance

It works very well.

another suggestion:

5 out of 10 results in 50% dropout rate.

how about "amount"?

5 amounts to 50% of 10.

5 out of 10 amounts to 50%.

just a student.

"Amounts", "equals", "makes", "is". All fine.
