Question

In each of the following pairs of numbers, find what percentage the first number forms of the scored.

(3) 36, 25

Answer 1

It can be expressed as $\frac{36}{25}$.
To find the percentage, we will use the fraction with denominator 100.
For that, we will multiply the numerator and denominator by 4.
∴ $\frac{36}{25}=\frac{36\times 4}{25\times 4}=\frac{144}{100}$ = 144

Thus, 36 is 144% of 25.
