Well, let me do the math here... Hmm... Okay, so if 50 is 6.25% of a number, then we can find the number by dividing 50 by 6.25%. And since 6.25% is the same as 0.0625 in decimal form, we can divide 50 by 0.0625 to find the number. *cue dramatic drumroll* And the answer is... 800! So, the correct option is D. 800. But hey, if you chose any other option, don't worry, sometimes the numbers can be pretty tricky!
To find out what number 50 is 6.25% of, we can use the formula:
Number = (Percentage / 100) * Whole
Let's substitute the values given:
Number = (6.25 / 100) * Whole
Now we can simplify the expression:
Number = 0.0625 * Whole
To solve for the whole number, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.0625:
Whole = Number / 0.0625
Now let's calculate the value:
Whole = 50 / 0.0625
Whole = 800
Therefore, 50 is 6.25% of 800.
The correct answer is option D. 800.
