Find a percent of a quantity and interpret the result in context.
Find a benchmark percent of a quantity
Problem
Find \(25\%\) of \(64\).
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Twenty-five percent is a benchmark percent, so it can be replaced with a familiar fraction of the whole. We’ll simplify twenty-five out of one hundred, use that fraction to divide sixty-four into equal parts, and verify by rebuilding the whole. This keeps the percent from being mistaken for the resulting amount.
