MEDAL AND FAN! Forty is 25% of what number?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

Here again you can make use of the fact that percent means "out of 100". So, 25% means \(\frac{25}{100}\) So now you need to work out some number such that 25% of it will equal 40. If we call this unknown number \(x\), then this translates to:\[40=\frac{25}{100}\times x\]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

You now need to use this equation to work out what \(x\) is.
