so if 25 equals to 100% and i take 9 from the 25 what percent was the 9

If 25 is equal to 100%, and you take 9 from the 25, you are left with 16.

To find out what percent 9 is of the original 25, you would first calculate the difference between 25 and 16: 25 - 16 = 9.

Then, you would calculate the percentage that 9 represents of the original 25: (9/25) x 100 = 36%.

Therefore, taking 9 from the original 25 results in 36%.

so 9 was 36%

Yes, that's correct. 9 represents 36% of the original 25.
