To find out what percent of 40 is 25, we can set up the proportion:

x/100 = 25/40

where x represents the percentage we are trying to find.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply to get:

40x = 2500

Then, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 40:

x = 62.5

Therefore, 25 is 62.5% of 40.

To find what percent 25 is of 40, you can divide 25 by 40, and then multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

So, (25/40) x 100 = 62.5%.

Therefore, 25 is 62.5% of 40.
