25% of 180? and how..

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$25\% = \frac{25}{100} = .25$$

'of' generally means multiplication.

So what is $$.25 \times 180?$$

anonymous · Answer

25%=1/4 since 25 out of 100 is one out of four so your answer should be 45

anonymous · Answer

Ok thank you, is there a formula thats works for all of them?

anonymous · Answer

Yes.

$$n\% = \frac{n}{100}$$

So:

$$n\%\text{ of M }  = \frac{n}{100}\times M$$

25 (180)/100 =45

anonymous · Answer

The best way that works for percentages is knowing the base of 10. For example,
10% of something divides a portion by 10 since 10% is 1 out of 10.
1% of something divides a portion by 100 since 1% is 1 out of 100.
Once you know that, you can take the percentage of ANYTHING just based on the previous two statements. Hope this helps!!

Ok.. so since 1% of 100 is 1 then it can continue with 2,3,4 etc..?

anonymous · Answer

1/4 of 100 is 25, 1/4 of 80 is 20, 25+20 is 45
