Help! I really hate these kind of questions because this is my weak point. (Don't ask why. I just don't understand these kind of questions that easily) Find 19/25 of $25,000.
A: $2,500
B: $15,000
C: $19,000
D: $1,900
I think it's either C or B. Those are not guesses. I said that because I got 16,000 when I calculated...and I calculated like 5 times!
C is correct.
You would find the percentage of 19/25 which is .76, then multiply that by $25,000 to get your answer which should be $19,000.
Oh, Thanks! That makes perfect sense. :D
19/25 x 25000=19x25000/25=19 x (25000/25)=19x1000=19000

Thx
Don't worry, I can help you understand how to solve these types of questions.
To find 19/25 of $25,000, you need to multiply $25,000 by the fraction 19/25.
Here's how you can do the calculation step by step:
Step 1: Multiply the numerator (19) by the dollar amount ($25,000):
19 * $25,000 = $475,000
Step 2: Divide the result by the denominator (25):
$475,000 / 25 = $19,000
So, the correct answer is C: $19,000.
It's great that you calculated the answer multiple times! To avoid any mistakes, make sure you are multiplying correctly and using the correct fractions. In this case, multiplying $25,000 by 19/25 gives you $19,000.
