A butcher adds 25% to the cost of meat in order to arrive at a selling price .What is his cost of the meat if the selling price totals $100?

Answer 1

25 percent is the same as the decimal 0.25.

Multiply 100 by 0.25 to see what 25% of 100 is.
100x0.25=25

Then, to find the price raised by 25%, add 25 to 100.
100+25=125

The final answer is $125.

Hope this helps!
