a dollar is 100 cents, and you want the percentage of 25 cents. Put 25 over 100. That is 25% (because the percent is basically in this case whatever is over 100).

Note: $0.25 = 25 cents and $1 = 100 cents


Percent = (part/whole)*100 Start with the given formula.


Percent = (25/100)*100 Plug in 25 cents for the numerator and 100 cents for the denominator


Percent = (25/cross(100))*cross(100) Cancel like terms


Percent = 25 Simplify


So $0.25 is 25% of one U.S. dollar
