How do you find 25% of a price?

Question

Lets I want to buy a pair of shoes that are $26 and they are 25% off. How do I find what 25% of $26 will be?

p.s. please show me step by step.

Answer 1

25% of $26
Method 1
(25 / 100) x $26
= (1/4) x $26
= $6.50
Method 2
10% <---> $2.60
10% <---> $2.60
5% <----> $1.30
-----------------
25% <---> $6.50
----------------

Answer 2

It's actually extremely simple.
take the original price (26)
and multiply it by 100-25 (or the percentage of sale) =75
basically 26 X .75

Answer 3

Say the shoes are $26 and there is 25% off.

First u divide the original price by 4 (as 25% is the same as a quarter).
26 divided by 4 = $6.50

Then now after finding 25%, you take it away from the original amount.
$26-$6.50=$19.50

and there you go

Answer 4

See 25 % is simply = 25/100 = 1/4 = 0.25

So if 25 % off is there, then the discount would be = 0.25 * 26

= $ 6.50

Answer 5

25% is 25/100=1/4 of the price.
so if u divide it by 2 twice u will get the discount.
26/2/2=13/2=6.5
and you will pay 26-6.5=19.5

Or

discount=26*25/100=26*1/4=13/3=6.5

Answer 6

Find the amount when the base and percent are known

amount = base times percent

Remove the % symbol. divide 25 by 100

25 / 100 = 0.25

multiply 26 times the decimal

26 x 0.25 = 6.5

The amount is $ 6.50

$ 6.50 is 25% of $ 26.00

Answer 7

5 times 5 equal 25

Answer 8

25% is 1/4 or 0.25
25% of $26 = 26/4 = $6.50 off
so sale price is $19.50

Answer 9

Here's the formula : Is/Of = %/100
Is=X
Of=$26
%=25

x/26=25/100 (use cross multiplication)
100x=26(25)
100x=650
x=650/100
x=6.50
then you subtract x from your price to get your answer
26-6.50=19.50

Answer 10

25/100*26=6.5
the price after off=26-6.5=19.5
