Need the answer ASAP... (I will report you if you put weird answers to get points)

0.75 of the adults in a hall are women. If there are 125 men, how many adults are there altogether?

I think the answer is 500
If there are x adults total, and 0.75 of them are women, then you have 0.75x women total. it is given that you have 125 men.
since men plus women equals total adults, 0.75x+125=x
125=0.25x
x=500
