Question:
25 is what percent of 30? Or, What percent of 30 is equal to 25?
Correct Answer
83.33%
Solution And Explanation
Solution
Given number = 30
To find, 25 is what percent of 30?
This question can be written as also
What percent of 30 is equal to 25?
⇒ ?% of 30 = 25
Let ? = m
And the meaning of "of" in mathematics is "Multiplication".
∴ m% of 30 = 25
⇒ m% × 30 = 25
⇒ m/100 × 30 = 25
⇒ 30 m/100 = 25
After cross multiplication, we get
30 m = 25 × 100
After transposing 30 to RHS, we get
m = 25 × 100/30
⇒ m = 2500/30
⇒ m = 83.33%
Thus, 83.33% of 30 = 25
Thus, Answer = 83.33%
Shortcut Method to find a number is what percent of other
If we have to find
? % of a = b
Here, let ? = m
Thus, above expression can be written as
m% of a = b
⇒ m/100 × a = b
⇒ m × a/100 = b
After cross multiplication, we get
m × a = b × 100
⇒ m = b × 100/a
Thus, using this formula, we can find a number (a) is what (m) percent of b
In the question, we have to find what percent of 30 = 25
Here, we have ? = m
a = 30
And, b = 25
Thus, using formula
⇒ m = 25 × 100/30
= 25 × 100/30
= 2500/30 = 83.33%
Thus, 83.33% of 30 = 25
Thus, 83.33% Answer
