Answer:

It should be 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.
