Answer: A, C, E
Explanation:
60% divided by 100 becomes a decimal, 0.6. The term "of," in mathematics, usually represents multiplication. This means 60% of 25 is equivalent to 0.6 * 25 = x.
A is correct.
Using the knowledge of A being correct, we will solve for x. Using this value of x, we can substitute it into the other answer choices to see which are correct.
0.6 * 25 = x
15 = x
x * 1.6 = 25 ➜ 15 * 1.6 = 24 ✗
(6/10) = (x/25) ➜ (6/10) = (15/25) ➜ 0.6 = 0.6 ✓
(60/100) = (25/x) ➜ (60/100) = (25/15) ➜ 0.6 = 1.6667 ✗
(x/25) = (60/100) ➜ (15/25) = (60/100) ➜ 0.6 = 0.6 ✓
6 * 25 = x ➜ 6 * 25 = 150 ✗
