Question

4% of a number is what fraction of that number?

Answer 1

First, let's remember how we calculate a percentage:

If we call the number "x", 4% is calculated by dividing x by 100 and then multiplying by 4:

`(x)/(100)*4`

This can also be represented as follows:

`(4)/(100)* x`

Thus, 4% of a number is 4/100 of that number. We can still simplify this result as follows:

`(4)/(100)=(1)/(25)`

We divide 4 by 4 and get 1, and also divide 100 by 4 and get 25.

Answer: 4% of a number is 1/25 of that number.
