Can someone please explain to me?
This is not a test question, but I am working on rational numbers at school and I want some help.
Thanks.
A quarter of a dollar is 25 cents, right? There are 4 quarters in a dollar.

Take a calculator and divide 1 by 4. The calculator shows 0.25. That's 25/100. Another way of writing 0.25 or 25/100 is 25%. Percent means "parts of 100".
