Question

1. identify the equation that could be used to solve the question below.

what number is 25% of 3?
$x = \frac{25}{3}$
$x = (0.25)(3)$
$x = (25)(3)$
$x = \frac{0.25}{3}$

1. identify the equation that could be used to solve the question below.

what number is 40% of 50?
$x = \frac{40}{50}$
$x = (0.4)(50)$

Explanation:

Step1: Convert % to decimal

25% = $0.25$, 40% = $0.4$

Step2: Set up "of" as multiplication

"x is p% of n" → $x = p_{\text{decimal}} \times n$

For Question 4:

Step1: Convert 25% to decimal

$25\% = 0.25$

Step2: Multiply by 3

$x = (0.25)(3)$

For Question 5:

Step1: Convert 40% to decimal

$40\% = 0.4$

Step2: Multiply by 50

$x = (0.4)(50)$

Answer:

1. For "What number is 25% of 3?": $\boldsymbol{x = (0.25)(3)}$
2. For "What number is 40% of 50?": $\boldsymbol{x = (0.4)(50)}$
