Help! : 25% of 36 = n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 % = one quarter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.25 x 36=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 x 9=36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could yhui explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to multiply 25% times the number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 25x36 =9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.25 x 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to make a number a percent you have to move the deecimal point over to the left twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6%=.06

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40%=.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36 = 100 % something = 25 % so something is to 36 what 25 is to 100, which is 1/4 and 1/4 of 36 is 9 Generally you do it by multiplying like Jack is saying, but for easy cases like 25 % there's no need for complicated multiplications.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 * 36 = 900

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I would put for my answer 9%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no just 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):
