Question

If 40% of a number is 32, what is 25% of that number?

Answer 1

What you need to do is divide 32 by 40 so you end up with 1%. Then you need to multiply that by 25 and you will get 25%

32÷40=0.8

0.8x25=20

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

40% of x = 32

(40/100)*x = 32

x = 32 * (100/40)

x = 32 * 2.5

x = 80

The number is 80.

Finding 25% of the number

25% of 80

(25/100) * 80

(1/4)* 80

20

25% of that number is = 20.

I hope that this helps.
