25 of 100
25 / 100 = 1/4 = 25%
25 of 50 = 25/50 = 1/2 = 50%
if u wanna make a fraction into a percentage you do the equation
(i will use the first one for example)
1/4 = x/100 ===> multiply each side by 100 so you have
100/4 = x which makes x = 25%
(so if you wanna experiment on a tougher one)
33/54 = x/100 ===> multiply each side by 100 so you have
3300/54 = x which makes x = 61.111... %

For your example
25/100=x/100

First convert 'a' as fraction of 'b'; then multiply the answer with 100.
The equation will be (a/b)x100 %
Good Luck!!

a/b = .ab = ab%
I think that would be it...You move the decimal point two spaces to the right, to get the percent...I am not sure, though...Good luck!
