Let's form an equation. To find the percent of a number, you multiply the percent divided by 100 and the initial number. X will be the initial number.
.25x=75; let's divide.
75÷0.25= 300
The initial number is 300. We can make sure 75 is a quarter of 300 by dividing 300 by 4.
300÷4=75
So, the number is 300.
