Answer:

42

Explanation:

If Naomi has 168 apps, then 100% is equal to 168 (since that's all her apps)

If 25% of these apps are games, then 25% is equal to x

If we multiply the number of total apps by the percentage of games, we'll find the total number of game apps

First change the percentage into a decimal:

25% = 0.25

Then multiply:

168 * 0.25 = x

Simplify:

x = 42

Another way you can do this is by realizing that 0.25 is equal to 1/4. If 168 is multiplied by 1/4, then that means the resulting equation is:

168/4 = x

x results in the same answer as the previous way:

x = 42
