We need to find x% of 25 = 55

Change x% to a usual value by dividing it by 100

x% = x/100


(x)/(100)*25=55

Multiply both sides by 100


\begin{gathered} (x)/(100)(100)*25=55*100 \\ x*25=5500 \\ 25x=500 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 25


\begin{gathered} (25x)/(25)=(5500)/(25) \\ x=220 \end{gathered}

Then the answer is

220% of 25 is 55
