1/5x = 105
x = 105 / (1/5)
x = 105 * (5/1)
x = 525
I don't think the correct answer is given. Did you copy the problem and the possible answers correctly?

C. 420
D. 500

It says approximately so any where near 525 would be correct so in this case 500 is correct.
Btw I’m in pace so I searched up this question and I wanted to clarify it.
