Question

Find the percent of 25% of 80​

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

Write 25% as 25/100

Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

25/100 of 80 = 25/100 × 80

Therefore, the answer is 20

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 25÷100×80 which will give you 20 as the answer.

Answer 2

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation: There are 2 ways to solve this problem. This is one way, it is a shortcut. So if you didn't know, 25% of 100 (the whole thing) is 1/4, so if you divide 80 by 1/4, you should get 20. The 2nd way is to set up a proportion, so it would be 25 over 100 = ? over 80. Now, you would cross multiply the 25 and 80 to get 2000. Then you take the 2000 and divide it by 100 to get 20. I hoped this explanation helped you.
