Question

Which is greater, 25% of $200 or 80% of 100?

Answer 1

80% of 100

Explanation:

25% of something is basically dividing it by 4, meaning 25% of 200 is 50,

While 80% of 100 is 80

A good way to memorize this is if youre taking anything as a percent of 100, get rid of a 0 on the 100, and put a decimal place in the number.

(e.g. 90% of 10 is 9. whereas 90% of 100 is 90)

Just remember which you're dealing with!

Hope this helps!
