    Always remember that the word"of" means to multiply. So you would write the problem as 25% of $1,900. Next you should convert 25% to decimal form: the easiest way to do this is to move the decimal point 2 places to the left, which will make 25% to .25. Your problem should look like this;

    25% of $1,900

    25% x $1,900

    .25 x $1,900 = 475

    A simple way to find out percentages is to convert the percent into a fraction like so;

    25/100(1,900)

    =475

    It can be easier to consider 25% as one quarter. Hence, 25% of 1,900 will divide into it four times. Hence, 1,900/4 = 475

    well 25% is the same as 1/4. so you can take $1,900 and divide it by 4. so 1900/4= $475.

    you devide 1,900 by 4 and it will come out to be $475

    its kindof like measureing because if you take ingredients and the recipe calls for 1/4 water that is four parts of a cup you would fill it up 25%

    or money 25 cents is 1/4 of a dollar you will divide
