Question

25% of what is 75?can you help me please?

Answer 1

75 represents 25%

To find the number, x, that represents 100%, we can use the next proportion:

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

Solving for x,

`\begin{gathered} 75\cdot100=25\cdot x \\ (7500)/(25)=x \\ 300=x \end{gathered}`

25% of 300 is 75
