Question

Write and solve an equation to answer the question,

"What number
is 25% of 64?"

Answer 1

To find out what number is 25% of 64, we can set up the equation using the concept of percentages.

Let \( x \) be the number we are trying to find. We express 25% as a decimal, which is \( 0.25 \).

We can write the equation as:

\[
x = 0.25 \times 64
\]

Now, we can solve for \( x \):

\[
x = 0.25 \times 64 = 16
\]

Thus, the number that is 25% of 64 is \( \boxed{16} \).
