Question
what is 25% of $100
Tanora~
The first thing you will need to get use to is that 25% is 1/4 or in words one-quarter (think of money, one-quarter) or (1/4)*100 = 25 or $25
Math Prof
If what you wanted to know how to do is change 25% to a decimal or fraction then to change to a decimal you always move the decimal to the left (percents are always bigger) so that makes it .25 and .25 is 25/100 which reduces to 1/4.
