Answer 2

Answer:

20% of 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 25% of 16, we have to consider how much 25% is out of 100%

25/100 can be simplified to 1/4

So 1/4 of 16 (or 16/4) = 4

To find 20% of 25, we have to consider how much 20% is out of 100%

20/100 can be simplified to 1/5

So 1/5 of 25 (or 25/5) = 5

4 < 5

Therefore, 20% of 25 is greater than 25% of 16
