First of all, you need to know that, “of”, means times. So we need to type 25% times 100.
The percent sign is located above the left parenthesis button, so we will need to use the 2nd button to activate the additional function of this key.
Let’s get started.
Press 25 and then Press 2nd.
Now we can press the left parenthesis sign to activate the calculation of percentages.
Press times for multiplication.
And now Press 100.
