60% is the same thing as .60
So you multiply .60 by 25.
.60 x 25 = 15
So your answer is 15.
Just think of it like this:
The word "is" is the same thing as equals.
The word "of" is the same thing as multiply.
Use that to solve:
? = 60% x 25

the answer is 15. You can calculate it like so:
25/100=0.25
0.25 x 60 = 15

15
BECUZ:
25 --> 100%
X ---> 60%
you cross multiply:
X = (25*60%)/100%
X = 15

60% of 25
Convert 60% to a decimal. 0.60
The word "of" means "times".
0.60 x 25 = 15
When deciphering word problems remember to translate the word "of" to "times" and the word "is" to "equals".
