The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem asks to find what percentage of 500,000 is equal to 125,000. This can be solved by setting up a simple equation to find the unknown percentage. Let’s call the unknown value ‘x’. The mathematical expression for the problem is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x% of 500,000 = 125,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mathematics, “percent” means “out of one hundred,” so x% can be written as the fraction x\/100. The word “of” typically signifies multiplication. With these substitutions, the equation becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(x \/ 100) * 500,000 = 125,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To solve for x, our goal is to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can start by simplifying the left side. Dividing 500,000 by 100 gives us 5,000:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x * 5,000 = 125,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, to find the value of x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5,000:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = 125,000 \/ 5,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This division can be simplified by canceling the three zeros from both the numerator and the denominator, which leaves us with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = 125 \/ 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performing the final division gives the answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, 25 is the missing number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An alternative way to think about this is to use the formula for finding a percentage: Percentage = (Part \/ Whole) \u00d7 100. In this context, the ‘Part’ is 125,000 and the ‘Whole’ is 500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percentage = (125,000 \/ 500,000) * 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, calculate the fraction 125,000 \/ 500,000. This fraction simplifies to 1\/4, which is 0.25 as a decimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, multiply the decimal by 100 to convert it to a percentage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percentage = 0.25 * 100 = 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both methods yield the same result, confirming that 25% of 500,000 is 125,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
