Question

Which is greater 25% of 16 or 20% of 25

Answer 1

20% of 25

Explanation:

To find 25% of 16, we have to consider how much 25% is out of 100%

25/100 can be simplified to 1/4

So 1/4 of 16 (or 16/4) = 4

To find 20% of 25, we have to consider how much 20% is out of 100%

20/100 can be simplified to 1/5

So 1/5 of 25 (or 25/5) = 5

4 < 5

Therefore, 20% of 25 is greater than 25% of 16

Answer 2

Explanation:

25% of 16 = 4

20% of 25 = 5
