0.5% of what number is 25?
Answered by Ms. Sue
0.005x = 25

x - 25 / 0.005

x = ?

Answered by Kelley
I thought when we changed 5% to a decimal we moved the percent sign to the left two times to get .05? How did you get .005?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're right. I goofed.

5% = 0.05

Sorry.
Answered by Reiny
Ms Sue was originally correct

5% ----> .05
.5% ----> .005

.005x = 25
x = 25/.005 = 5000

check:
1% of 5000 is 50
1/2 % or .5% is 25
