Step-by-step explanation

1. Convert percentages into fractions or decimals

For fraction: divide \frac{250}{1} by 100 and remove the % sign.
$\frac{250}{1} % = \frac{\frac{250}{1}}{100}$

For decimal: move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the % sign.
$\frac{250}{1} % = 2.5$

2. Multiply the decimal or fraction by the quantity that equals 100%

$100 % = 5$
$\frac{250}{100} \cdot 5 = 2.5 \cdot 5 = 12.5$

250% of 5 is 12.5
