We need to find the number where 1 represents its 0.5%.

We can put them in a math formula:

0.5% * x = 1

Where x represents the missing number.

Now, we need to convert 0.5% into a fraction.

0.5/100 * x = 1

Solve the equation for x:

Multiply both sides by 100:

100(0.5/100 * x ) = 100(1)

Then

0.5 * x = 100

Divide both sides by 0.5

(0.5 * x ) / 0.5 = 100/0.5

x = 100/0.5

x= 200

Hence, 1 is 0.5 of 200.
