TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Given Information.

The number is 60.

Step 2. Calculation.

Let $x$ be the percentage.

Write percentage as a fraction.

Therefore,

$\frac{25}{60} = \frac{x}{100}$

Multiply both sides of the equation with 100 to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{25}{60} \times 100 = \frac{x}{100} \times 100 \\ x = \frac{125}{3} \\ = 41 \frac{2}{3} \end{matrix}$

Step 3. Conclusion.

The number 25 is $41 \frac{2}{3} %$ of 60.
