Answer:

250

Explanation:

20% of 250 is 50. 100% of 250 is 250, therefore 20 percent of 250 equals 50.

More simplified explanation: The question is asking if 50 is 20% of a number, what is the number? So we know that 20% is 1/5 of 100%; if we know that 50 is 20% of something, then we would multiply 50 by 5 to get the answer. We would have to multiply 50 by 5 because if 50 is 20% of a number that would mean that 50 is 1/5 of the number we need to find, so to find the number, you to multiply 50 by 5.

Hope this helps!
