Determine what number must be multiplied to 2/8 to get 25%

Solution:

In order to determine the number, we must first equate 2/8 as a decimal. This can be done by dividing the numerator with the denominator.

2/8
= 0.25

0.25x = 25

Divide both sides by 0.25 in order to determine the value of x or the number that it must be multiplied to.

0.25x/0.25 = 25/0.25

x = 100

Check:

(0.25)(100) = 25%

Final answer:

= 100
