Question

There are 8 squares. If 25 percent of the squares are red and the rest of them are blue, how many squares are red?

Answer 1

25% of 8
.25 x 8 = 2
2 of the squares are red and the rest our blue
So 8-2 = 6 blue squares

RED SQUARES = 2
BLUE SQUARES = 6

Answer 2

2 squares are red.

8 divided by 25% = 2.

8 x 0.25 = 2

0.25 = 25%
