Question

There are 60 students at H and M Day care center. If 25% of the students have brown eyes, how many students have brown eyes?

Answer 1

25% of 60
25% = 1/4
1/4 of 60 = 15

15 students have brown eyes.

Answer 2

15. The way I solved it is by using Proportions. 60 is under x ( the variable for your answer) and 25% would be over 100. Solve that by multiplying diagonally and dividing 100. You get 15.
