To find out what number \( x \) five percent of \( x \) is equal to 1.25, you can set up the equation:
\[
0.05x = 1.25
\]
Now, solve for \( x \):
1. Divide both sides by 0.05:
\[
x = \frac{1.25}{0.05}
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
x = 25
\]
Thus, 5% of 25 is 1.25. Therefore, the number is \( \boxed{25} \).
\[
0.05x = 1.25
\]
Now, solve for \( x \):
1. Divide both sides by 0.05:
\[
x = \frac{1.25}{0.05}
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
x = 25
\]
Thus, 5% of 25 is 1.25. Therefore, the number is \( \boxed{25} \).
