What isof?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a percentage of a whole number, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number.

So, given the problem

of

We can re-write it as

Now, we will write 80% as a fraction. We know that percentages can be written as fractions over 100. So, we get

Now, we will write 250 as a fraction. We know that whole numbers can be written as fractions over 1. So, we get

Now, we will simplify before we multiply to make things easier. The zero in 80 can cancel a zero in 100. So, we get

The zero in 10 can cancel the zero in 250. We get

Now, we can multiply straight across. We get

Therefore,ofis.
