Explanation:

`color(blue)("Preamble")`

The symbol % is a bit like a unit of measurement but one that is worth `1/100`

so `39%" is the same as "39xx1/100=39/100`

In the same way that (as an example)

`40/100 =40xx1/100 = 40 xx% = 40%`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`color(blue)("Answering the question")`

39% of 25 is the same as `39/100xx25`

You can write this as `39xx25/100`

but `25/100` is the same as `1/4` giving:

`39xx1/4" "=" " 39/4" " =" " 9 3/4`
