Answer:

700

Explanation:

If you take 25 percent of a number and get 175, then what is that number? In other words, you know that 25 percent of a number is 175 and you want to know what that initial number is.

To solve this problem you multiply 175 by 100 and then divide the total by 25 as follows: (175 x 100) / 25

When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:

700
