Question

Which expression can be used to find 25 percent of 88?

Answer 1

25 percent of 88 is 25/100* 88 = 22

Answer 2

25 percent of 88 is 22.

We know that 'x%' of any number 'y' is represented as :

($\frac{x * y}{100}$)        ...(1)

Similarly, 25% of a number 88 is given, by replacing 'x' as 25 and 'y' as 88 in (1), we get:

($\frac{25 * 88}{100}$)

= ($\frac{88}{4}$)

= 22.

Thus, the number is 22.
