25% of a number is 200. What is 1% of the number

A) 4

B) 8

C) 20

D) 25

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

We have, 25% × x = 200

or,

25

100

× x = 200

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 25,

we have x = 200 ×

100

25

x = 800

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 200×100÷25, which will give you the answer.

So now that you have the original number you just need to find 1% of 800

1% of 800 is 8
