Please explain this problem:
25% of 162
See the first post I answered for you.
Rule # one = When you see the percent sign its over 100! so x%=x/100
Rule # 2 = In word problems, when u see the word "of" it means multiplication symbol...well not in all cases but in most cases especially when dealing w. percent stuff.
so 25% of 162 means (25/100) times 162 which equals 41.
But also know that 25% is just saying one fourth of something.....like lets say u said...i am positive i got 1/4 of the test right and assume the test had 162 questions. basically you are saying i got "25% of 162" questions right.
Hope that helped!
To solve this problem, we need to find 25% of 162.
First, we need to understand that when we talk about percentages, the word "of" usually means multiplication. So, "25% of 162" can be translated to "25% multiplied by 162".
To find 25% of 162, we can use the following formula:
25% * 162
To express 25% as a decimal, we divide 25 by 100:
25% = 25/100 = 0.25
Now, we can substitute this value into the formula:
0.25 * 162 = 40.5
Therefore, 25% of 162 is equal to 40.5.
