What is 25% of 200?

To find 25% of 200, you can use the formula for calculating a percentage of a quantity, which is:

[

\text{Percentage} = \left( \text{Percentage Rate} \times \text{Total} \right)

]

In this case, you're looking for 25% of 200. This can be calculated as follows:

[

25% \text{ of } 200 = \frac{25}{100} \times 200

]

Now, simplify (\frac{25}{100}) to (\frac{1}{4}), so the equation becomes:

[

\frac{1}{4} \times 200

]

Dividing 200 by 4 gives you:

[

200 \div 4 = 50

]

Thus, 25% of 200 is indeed 50. This confirms that the answer is correct. It illustrates an important mathematical principle of finding a percentage: dividing the total quantity by the percentage (expressed as a fraction) to reach the answer.
