Answer:
20% is 5$.
Explanation:
Ok - these always need a bit of a read to make sure we're answering the right thing.
"What percent..." asks us for a percentage. Ok - good.
"...of 25..." asks us to take the number (25) and multiply it by the percentage we're going to find.
"...is 5" tells us what the answer we're looking for is. So we have:
25 × P = 5
- 25 times some percentage equals 5.
We can treat P as a variable and so can divide both sides by 25:
p = 5/25 = 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%.
