What percent of the pizza does each friend get?

A jar has 25 marbles, and 10 of them are red.
Which choice shows equivalent fraction, decimal, and percent for the red marbles?
10/25 = 0.5 = 50%
2/5 = 0.4 = 40%
2/5 = 0.25 = 25%
5/10 = 0.4 = 60%
Explanation
10 out of 25 is 10/25, which simplifies to 2/5. 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4, and 0.4 × 100 = 40%, so 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%.
