Total Number of sheets of construction paper= 25

The Percent of the sheets of construction paper that are secondary color = 40%

Percent means out of 100.To find number of secondary color sheet we find 40% of 25.

40%=
(40)/(100)

Number of sheets which are of secondary color=
(40)/(100) of 25 =(1000)/(100) =10

Number of secondary color sheets =10.
