Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

40% (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make a ratio to simplify your situation:

Think about it like this:

If 25 is 100%, and the question is asking me for 10, which is x%, then what is x%?

Here's what I'm talking about:

10               x%

------    =    --------

25            100%

Now, just cross multiply and simplify:

1000 = 25x

   40 = x

      x = 40

To check your answer, you can multiply 25 by 0.4 (the decimal form of 40%) to see if it worked because 40% of 25 is 10:

25 (0.4)

   10
