You and four of your friends plan to stay at a bed and breakfast for two nights. The total cost of your stay is £186. You each need to pay 1/5 of the cost. Your friend says this is the same as 25% of the cost. Is your friend correct?

divide 1 by 5. 1 /5 = 0.2 which equals 20%

this is less than 25% so the friend is not correct
