Answer: 25
Step-by-step explanation: Well percent means over 100 so we can set up an equation for this problem by reading it from left to right.
What means x, is means equals, 25% is 25/100, of means times, and 100 means 100. So we have the equation x = 25/100 · 100.
Simplifying on the right side of the equation,
notice that 25/100 reduces to 1/4.
So we have x = 1/4 · 100.
Think of the 100 as 100/1.
So we can cross-cancel the 100 and 4 to 25 and 1
and we have x = 1 · 25 over 1 · 1 or x = 25.
Now let's check our answer back in the original problem to see if it makes sense.
We have 25 is 25% of 100.
Well we know that 100% of 100 would be 100 so 25% of 100 should be alot less than 100 so 25 seems to make sense.
