125 is the answer.

A mean of vie numbers is 25. If it is 25, the numbers must be 25. So, since there is 5 of 25, multiply 25 by 5. Then, the answer would be 125.

There is also another way to do it. Set-up your equation.

x/5=25.

Now flip it to make the equation a multiplication problem.

25Ă—5=x

Once you solve the equation, you should get 125 is the answer.
