Question

How do you evaluate the expression: $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ ?

Answer 1

Hint: From the question given it had been asked to find the $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ . We should follow the below process to solve the above-given question. The meaning of $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ is $ 25 $ parts of each hundred in $ 2000 $ . So, now to evaluate $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $, we should do further simplifications.

Complete step by step answer:
Now considering the question we need to evaluate the expression $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $
The $ 25\% $ means $ 25 $ parts of each hundred. So $ 25\% $ can be represented as shown below,
Representation of $ 25\% $ : $ 25\%=\dfrac{25}{100} $
Now, by using the above representation we have to evaluate the above-given question.
Now, as we have been already discussed above, $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ means $ 25 $ parts of each hundred in $ 2000 $
So, now the process is, we have to multiply the representation of $ 25\% $ with $ 2000 $ to get the final evaluation of the given expression in the question.
Now, by doing the multiplication of representation of $ 25\% $ with $ 2000 $ , we get
 $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ is $ \dfrac{25}{100}\times 2000 $
On furthermore simplifying the above expression, we get the below expression
 $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ is $ \dfrac{1}{4}\times 2000 $
On furthermore simplifying the above expression, we get the below expression
 $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ is $ 500 $
Hence, the expression $ 25\% $ of $ 2000 $ is $ 500 $
Hence, the given expression in the given question is evaluated.

Note:
We should be well known about the percentages. Also, we should be well known about the calculation of percentages. We should be very careful while doing the calculation of this type of percentage problems. We should be well aware of the meaning of the given expression in the question. Once we understand the question, the given question can be solved easily. Similarly $ 50\% $ of $ 1000 $ can also be evaluated as $ \dfrac{50}{100}\times 1000=500 $ .
