300 is 25% of x.

this means that 300 = .25 * x

solve for x to get x = 300 / .25 = 1200

let y equal the number you are looking for.

x is 25% of y means that x = .25 * y.

since x is equal to 1200, this becomes 1200 = .25 * y

solve for y to get y = 1200 / .25 = 4800

yous solution is that x will be 25% of 4800.

you take 25% of 4800 and you get 1200.

you take 25% of 1200 and you get 300.

solution looks good.
