Answer:

20.

Explanation:

The strategy here is to see how many times the "percent number" (in this case, 25) goes into 100, and then count by that number until we reach 100-the whole thing. Here, we're told that 25% of a number is 5. So, to find 100% of the number, we count by 25s up to 100: 25, 50, 75, 100. 100% is 20.

Answer:

1200

Explanation:

If 24 is 2%, 100% would be 1200 because if you multiply 2 by 50 you get 100% so you multiply 24 by 50 which is 1200
