Answer:
Hi!
An easy way to start, is to use an example number.
We can use any random number to help explain this concept. Let's use 100 as any random number.
To find 25% of 50, the first, and easiest, way to start is representing 25% as a fraction.
25% = [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex] * 100 = 25. (We can cancel 100 on both sides.)
Also note that [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex] can be reduced.
So, in general, using a fraction to represent 25% and using cancellation is an easy way of figuring out 25% of any number.
Hope this helps!
