Question

0.5% of what number is 25?

Answer 1

You're right. I goofed.

5% = 0.05

Sorry.

Answer 2

Ms Sue was originally correct

5% ----> .05
.5% ----> .005

.005x = 25
x = 25/.005 = 5000

check:
1% of 5000 is 50
1/2 % or .5% is 25

Answer 3

To find the number, we need to divide 25 by 0.5% (or 0.005).

Here's the step-by-step calculation:
1. Divide 25 by 0.005:
25 ÷ 0.005 = 5000

Therefore, 0.5% of 5000 is 25.

Answer 4

0.005x = 25

x - 25 / 0.005

x = ?

Answer 5

I thought when we changed 5% to a decimal we moved the percent sign to the left two times to get .05? How did you get .005?
