You can solve this problem by letting x represent the unknown answer. Then you can write the
equation:
.

.
Solve for x by dividing both sides of this equation by 25. When you do, the equation
becomes:
.

.
When you divide the left side (50 divided by 25) the answer becomes:
.
2 = x
.
But percent is defined as hundredths. Since your answer is 2, in terms of hundredths you
write:
.

.
and when you say x = 200/100 this is the same as saying x = 200%.
.
Therefore, you can say 50 is 200% of 25.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem.
