Total no. of chess games = 25#

Total no. of games shipped = 200

% of board games = 50

$:.$ No. of board games $= (50/100)*200 = 100$

No. of board games = 100

% of chess in board games = 25

$:.$ No. of games in chess $= (25/100)*100 = 25$

$25$ chess sets

You are actually trying to find $25% " of " 50% " of " 200$

$50%$ of the $200$ games are board games and $25%$ of those are chess.

$50/100 xx 200 = 100$ board games

$25/100 xx 100 = 25$ chess .

Or in one calculation:

$cancel50/cancel100_cancel2 xx25/cancel100 xxcancel200^cancel2 =25$

$=25$ chess sets
