Roger is only correct if you are talking about the same number. 10%of 100 is 10 while 25% of 100 is 25. Ok, roger, you win this round. However, if you are talking about different numbers, it will vary. 25% of 4 is 1 while 10% of 1000 is 100. In this case, the 10% of 1000 is bigger than the 25% of 4.
