Ina school, 25 % of the
teachers teach basic
math. If there are 50
basic math teachers, how
many teachers are there
in the school?
Solution
 5% of ____ = 50 or 25% × ___ = 50 or 0.25 × ____ = 50

Thus, the question is 0.25 times what gives me 50

A simple division of 50 by 0.25 will get you the answer

50/0.25 = 200

Therefore, we have 200 teachers in the school

In fact, 0.25 × 200 = 50

24students in a class
took an algebra test. If
18 students passed
the test, what percent
do not pass?
 Set up the problem like this:

First, find out how many student did not pass.

Number of students who did not pass is 24 − 18 = 6

Then, write down the following equation:

x% of 24 = 6 or x% times 24 = 6

To get x%, just divide 6 by 24

6/24 = 0.25 = 25/100 = 25%

Therefore, 25% of students did not pass
