Question

If 40% of a number is 80, what is 25% of that number?

A) 8.
B) 20.
C) 50.
D) 128.

Answer 1

To find 25% of a number, divide the given value (80) by the known percentage (40), then multiply the result by the desired percentage (25). The answer is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 25% of a number, we can use the same method as finding 40% of the number. Since 40% is equal to 80, we can divide 80 by 40 and multiply it by 25 to find the answer.

80 divided by 40 is equal to 2, and multiplying 2 by 25 gives us 50. Therefore, 25% of the number is 50.
