Answer: formula - (x/4)+x

Explanation:

Since there are no numbers, here is just the formula and what it means :)

(x/4)+x

(btw x is whatever your number is)

so what you need to do first is to divide your number by 4 because 25% is 1/4 of 100%

and then add that number that you just got to your number.

Its a little confusing to say out in words, so here is an example using 24

24/4=6

24+6=30

and heres another example using 50

50/4=12.5

50+12.5=62.5

I hope this helped! <3
