Question

25 is what percent of 365?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% can be written as `x/100`.

Therefore, we can write and solve:

`25/365 = x/100`

`color(red)(100) xx 25/365 = color(red)(100) xx x/100`

`2500/365 = cancel(color(red)(100)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100)))`

`6.85 = x` rounded to the nearest hundredth:

`x = 6.85`

Therefore: `6.85/100 = 6.85%`

`25` is approximately `6.85%` of `365`
