25 is 62.5% of 40 what are the step by step process
There are no unknowns in this question, but the step by step process for interpreting the words are:
1)' 25 is' means 25 =
2)' 62.5%' means 62.5/100, so 25 = 62.5/100
3)' of' means denominator of subject (which is the 25), so:
25/40 = 62.5/100.
This might be easier to see if there were an unknown. For example: 25 is what percent of 40? Using the above interpretation, this becomes:
25/40 = x/100 then solve for x.
Or, another example: 25 is 62.5% of what?
25/x = 62.5/100
