no you dont do nothing with percents

Answer 12

All you do is divide

Answer 13

ok one way to do it is this. 5 out of 25 is equal to 1 out of 5. Then we take that and set it equal to x out of 700.
Then, 5 times what is 700. (do 700/5).

Answer 14

the answer you get here, multiply it by 1 to get your "x" value.
Or, you could just do:

then you would do \[700\div25\] take that answer and multiply it by 5 to get the "x" value.
You get the same either way. Good luck ! (:
