25% of what number is 20
i got 1/4 can you tell me if i am right
25% is 1/4. But it doesn't answer the question.
You want a much larger number.
Use this equation and solve for x:
0.25x = 20
x = 20/0.25
x = 80
25% of 80 = 20
thank you
To check if you are right, we can set up an equation using the given information.
Let's say "x" is the number we are looking for.
We know that 25% of x is equal to 20.
Mathematically, this can be written as:
0.25x = 20
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:
x = 20 / 0.25
x = 80
So, the number you are looking for is 80.
Therefore, your answer of 1/4, or 25%, is correct.
