Answer 1

Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 16 potatoes

=25/100x16

Answer 2

The Correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about the percentage of a specific object with respect to the other. We represent it as

25% * 16

Here we have used multiplication in the place of "of the potatoes" because it is a general rule of percentage. Thus, removing the sign of percentage, we get

25/100 * 16 = 0.25 *15 = 4

Hence, from all the options we have seen that option B fits the best for current problem
