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
