Problem

What the value of $25\%$ of $2004$ ?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1002 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 501 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 50~100 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 12 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 18$

We can use the fact that $25\%$ of $2004$ is the same as multiplying $25\%$ and $2004$ :

$25\% \times 2004 = \frac{1}{4} \times 2004 = \boxed {\textbf {(B) } 501}$
