start by translating in to math.

Answer 5

same way. replace the "is" by an equal sign, and the "of" by a times sign, and the "what" by a variable or a letter, or just the word "what". try that and see if you understand.

Answer 10

ok did you write
\[594=\frac{10}{100}\times x\]?

Answer 11

in reality you just turn 10% to a decimal in your head.
\[\frac{10}{100}=0.1\] so you write
\[594=0.1\times x\] and solve for x
