To find the number that 5 is 20% of, you can set up a proportion: 5 is to x as 20 is to 100. This can be written as 5/x = 20/100. Solving for x, we get x = (5 * 100) / 20 = 25. Therefore, 5 is 20% of 25.

To get the answer, you can use cross multiplication:

(20/5%)*(X/100%)

X = (20*100)/5

X = 400

Therefore, 20 is 5% of 400.

Another method you can use is using the formula (Percentage = Base x Rate)

Given: P = 20 ; B = unknown ; R = 5% or 0.05 in decimal

Solution:

20 = B x 0.05

20/0.05 = B

400 = B

Well, honey, if 5 is 20% of a number, that means you need to divide 5 by 0.20 to find out what that number is. So, 5 divided by 0.20 equals 25. So, the number you're looking for is 25.
