To 'back-calculate' a percentage such as this, you divide the number by the decimal equivalent of the percentage.

* 40% = 0.4 So, 50 ÷ 0.4 = 125

To find the number that 50 is 40% of, you can set up a proportion:

50 = 0.40x

To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.40:

x = 50 / 0.40

x = 125

Therefore, 50 is 40% of 125.
