Answer 1

19972.08

Explanation:

If we want to find what 4993.02 is 25% of what number we must do the opposite of multiplying as they multiplied a number by 25% to get 4993.02

Therefore it would be,

`4993.02/0.25`

Which is,

19972.08

Answer 2

"`25%` of what" can also be written as `25/100 *w`

where we have changed the `25%` to a fraction of `1/100*25 = 25/100`

and we have changed the what to just `w`.

Now we are given that `4993.02` is `25/100 *w`

That means: `4993.02 = 25/100 *w`

Multiply both sides by 100: `499302. = 25 *w`

Divide both sides by 25: `499302/25 = w`

Then: `w=19972.08` which is "what"
