Question

63 is 25% of what number

Answer 1

An unknown number (x) represents 100%.

63 represents 25%.

Then, we can use the next proportion:

`(x)/(63)=\frac{100\text{ \%}}{25\text{ \%}}`

Solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} x\cdot25=100\cdot63 \\ x=(6300)/(25) \\ x=252 \end{gathered}`

63 is 25% of 252
