Answer 1

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

To use a percent you must change it to a decimal.

8% is .08

To find 8% of 25, we use multiplication.

.08 × 25

= 2

In case you cannot use a calculator or you want to be very quick about this, or just do a simple check... you can actually reverse the number (money, amount, etc) and the percent.

25% of 8 is not bad for doing mental math. 25% is a quarter, or 1/4 of 8 which again is 2.
