Question

Find 25% of 116 I don't know the answer​

Answer 1

29

Explanation:

Let's set up an equation...

25%*116=x

We can first convert 25% to a fraction. We can convert any percentage into a fraction by simply putting the number over 100...

`(25)/(100)*116=x`

We can simplify 25/100 by dividing the fraction by 25/25. Note we can only do this because 25/25 is equivalent to 1, therefore meaning we are dividing the fraction by 1.

`(1)/(4)*116=x\\(116)/(4)=x\\x=29`
