The amount of apple fritters is 2 out of ten orders. 2/10 simplifies to 1/5. If u put 1/5 next to x/25 on a piece of paper, u can see that 5 times 5 will give u 25. This means that u should also multiply 1 times five to find the value of x. 1x5=5. So, 5 out of 25 pastries should be apple fritters. Hope this is right, let me know!
