What percent is 25 of 100

Question

1. I m confused ·

Answer 1

You would set up a ratio. First you would start with your part over whole, equal to your percent over 100.

It would look something like

25 = x

---- ----

100 100

Then you would cross multiply, meaning you would multiply the opposites

it would look like 25 times 100 (the 100 under the "x")

and "x" times 100 (the 100 under the 25)

100x = 2500

divide by 100

x = 25%
