2/5 is the same as 0.4 and 40%

32/100 is the same as 0.32 and 32%

-To find 25% of an amount, first halve it to find 50% of the amount, then halve it again to find 25% (or to make things easier, just divide by 4)

-To find 75% of an amount, first find 25% of the amount then multiply that number by 3 (25*3 = 75)

OR, in a "what is ........% of ........." question, turn the percentage into a decimal and multiply it with the other number in the question
