25 is 32% of what number?

You can solve that by cross multiplication. If 25 is 32%, then x is 100%: 25/32 = x/100 25 100 = 32 x
x = 25*100/32 = 78.125
To check the solution: 78.125*(32/100)=25
For this kind of question you just have to multiply times 100/percentage, that's what you always arrive to with the cross multiplication. So if they asked you, 50 is 25% of what? You'd do 50*(100/25) = 200. It's the reverse of finding the percentage of a number.

The **value **of the **unknown number **is 78.125.
What is the value of the unknown number?
Given the **parameter **in the question:
25 is 32% of what number?
Let x represent the value of the unknown number ,
Translating into an equation :
32% of x = 25
Note that: 32% is the same 32/100
Hence:
32/100 × x = 25
Multiply 32 and x:
32x/100 = 25/1
Next, cross multiply:
32x × 1 = 100 × 25
32x = 100 × 25
Multiply 100 and 25
32x = 2500
Divide both sides by 32
x = 2500/32
x = 78.125
Therefore, the **value **of x is 78.125.
