Question

What is 25% of a number whose 250% is 1000.​

Answer 1

We have, 25% × x = 250

or, 25/100 × x = 250

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 25,

we have x = 250 ×  

100

25

x = 1000

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 250×100÷25, which will give you the answer.
