If you take 5% of 250, you'll have 12.5 as an answer. Remember that % is just one-hundredths. Your 5% is 5/100 so 5% of 250 is (5/100) x 250 which equals 1250/100 = 12.5 / 1 = 12.5 Any time you have a percentage, take the number and put it over 100 and you'll have the fractional equivalent. Here are just a couple of examples: 6% = 6/100 30% = 30/100 77% = 77/100 88.5% = 88.5/100
