<PRE><B>Question 1089118</B>
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.
