Question

What percent of 25 is 20

Answer 1

80% bc 20/25 equals 4/5 and 4/5 equals x/100 and when you do that math it equals 80%

Answer 2

What percent of 25 equals 20

If x is the percentage,

25 * x = 20

We would multiply x by 25 because when the question includes "of" it indicates multiplication

Divide both sides of the equation by 25 to isolate x, what we want to find out

x = 0.8

The percent (x) is in decimal form, to convert it to a percent move the decimal 2 spaces down- basically multiply it by 100

x = 80%

20 is 80% of 25
