Answer 2

If 20% of x is 25 then x is 125.

Solution,

Per cent generally means out of 100. A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

20 % of x is 25, mathematically can be represented as (20/100) × x = 25.

Now,

⇒  (20/100) × x = 25.

⇒   x = 25/ (20/100)

⇒   x = (25 × 100)/20.

⇒   x = (2500)/20

⇒   x = 125.
