Answer:

125 percent

Explanation:

25 percent *500.00 =

(25:100)*500.00 =

(25*500.00):100 =

12500:100 = 125

Now we have: 25 percent of 500.00 = 125

Question: What is 25 percent of 500.00?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 500.00.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$500.00=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=25\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$500.00=100\%(1)$.

$x=25\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{500.00}{x}=\frac{100\%}{25\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

{x}/{500.00}={25}/{100}$

$Rightarrow x=125$

Therefore, $25\%$ of $500.00$ is $125$
