hint:
we can write this computation:
$$\Large  20 \times \frac{{125}}{{100}} = 25$$
what can you conclude, please?

anonymous · Answer

7TH GRADE 4.05 and it equals 25

michele_laino · Answer

hint:
if the $125 \%$ of $20$ is $25$, then $($$20+ 125\% $ of $20$$)$ is greater than $25$

25 - 20 = 5. 5 ÷ 20 = 0.25. 0.25 • 100 = 25. Evan worked 25% more not 125%
