Multiply 14 by 25 and divide by 100 (to get 25 % of 14)
Multiply 15 by 25 and divide by 100 (to get 25 % of 15)

When you want to figure out a percent, you have to take the # , and times it by the # of the percent. So it is 25% you move the last decimal two to the left. If there is no decimal, you would start at the end of the #. So it would be .25. If it was 20% it would be .2, and if it was just 2% it would be.02. So yo would have to make an equastion of 15 * .25=
Good luck!

So I guess you followed the examples in your text book. Turn the 25 percent into a decimal or .25. Then multiply 14 by .25. That equals 350--you have two decimal points which makes 350 3.50. Do the same for 15 or 3.75.

convert first 25% to decimal
25% = .25 [move 2 decimal places to the right { divide by 100}]
then multiply.
.25(14)
3.5

ok...try this...25 percent of 14:
14 multiplied by 25, divided by 100. So, 14x25 = 350
350 divided by 100 = 3.5
"percent" indicates part of 100 (from latin "cento"), that is why you divide by 100.
Furthermore:
25% of 15 would be: 15 multiplied by 25 = 375
375 divide by 100 = 3.75
I hope this helps.

To find the answer, you multiply 14 (or 15?) by .25
You should learn that, it's pretty simple. To find a percentage of a number, you multiply the number by the decimal value of the percentage- 25% - multiply by .25 50% multiply by .50 (or .5) etc.
14 x .25 = ? Grab your calculator
