Question 20825: twenty-five is 1/2% of what number
Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1% = .01
1/2% = .5% which means .5 *.01 which would be .005

Let x = the number
Now, 25 is 1/2% of what number.
25= .005*x

Divide both sides by .005

Check: Does .005* 5000 = 25? Yes, it does! It checks.
