To find the number, you can set up the equation: 0.25x = 5. To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.25, giving you x = 5 / 0.25. Therefore, the number is 20.

It'd be better if the steps taken were shown. This is how one gets to '20': To find the original amount, first, turn the percentage number into a decimal number [25% as a decimal (25/100) is 0.25],then divide 5 (the amount given)by 0.25, i.e. 5/0.25 =20.
