To find the percent of x out of y , we can use the formula
$\Rightarrow {\displaystyle \frac{x}{y}}\ast 100$
Here we are asked to find the percent of 25 out of 60
Applying the above formula we get,
.$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow {\displaystyle \frac{25}{60}}\ast 100 \\ \Rightarrow 0.4167\ast 100 \\ \Rightarrow 41.67\mathrm{\%} \end{gathered}$$.
