Re: Help with finding the percentage
Or, if i were you, I would just divide 25000 by 4,which is a whole lot easier, since
25% = 1/4
And more easy shortcuts would be:
1% = 1/100
2% = 1/50
5% = 1/20
10% = 1/10
20% = 1/5
50% = 1/2
I just hope you could use these for future references...

Re: Help with finding the percentage
The way I was taught:
Later on, you will realize that "of" (as in 25% OF 25000) implies multiplication. And 25% = .25, so:
.25 * 25000 = 6250
