What is the value of 25% of 80?

To find 25% of 80, you can use the formula for percentage calculation, which is: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Percent}}{100}\right) \times \text{Whole} \] In this case, the percent is 25 and the whole is 80. Plugging in these values gives: \[ 25\% \text{ of } 80 = \left(\frac{25}{100}\right) \times 80 \] First, simplify \(\frac{25}{100}\): \[ \frac{25}{100} = 0.25 \] Now, multiply 0.25 by 80: \[ 0.25 \times 80 = 20 \] Therefore, 25% of 80 is 20, confirming that the correct answer is indeed 20. This calculation demonstrates how to effectively convert a percentage into a decimal and then perform the multiplication to arrive at the desired portion of the whole number.

To find 25% of 80, you can use the formula for percentage calculation, which is:

[

\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Percent}}{100}\right) \times \text{Whole}

]

In this case, the percent is 25 and the whole is 80. Plugging in these values gives:

[

25% \text{ of } 80 = \left(\frac{25}{100}\right) \times 80

]

First, simplify (\frac{25}{100}):

[

\frac{25}{100} = 0.25

]

Now, multiply 0.25 by 80:

[

0.25 \times 80 = 20

]

Therefore, 25% of 80 is 20, confirming that the correct answer is indeed 20. This calculation demonstrates how to effectively convert a percentage into a decimal and then perform the multiplication to arrive at the desired portion of the whole number.
