What is 25% off £60

1) A percentage is merely a fraction that has a denominator of 100.

For example, writing 17% as a fraction is 17/100

2) If one takes a fraction OF something then the OF turns into a mulltiplication (X):

For example: 3/4 of 20 is written as 3/4 X 20 = (3 X 20)/4 = (3 X 5 X 4)/4 = 3 X 5=15

Combining (1) and (2) above:

We can therefore write 25% OF 60 as: (25/100) X 60 = 60/4 = 15

Taking 25% off 60 is taking 15 off 60 which is 60 - 15 = 45
