Question

What percent of 25 is 21? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

84% I believe should be right

Answer 2

84%

Explanation:

"What percent of 25 is 21"

"of" can be translated to a multiplication sign

"is" can be translated to an equal sign

And, we can call "what percent" as P, since we want to solve for this.

So, we have:

`P*25=21`

Solving for P, and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage, we have:

`P=(21)/(25)\\P=0.84\\0.84*100=84`

84% is the correct answer.
