If you INCREASE a number by 25%, you now have 125% of that number.
 
1.25n = 225
 
Solve for n for your answer.

The value 25% = 1.25 or 25% = 0.22
1.25 n=225 ??
or 0.25n = 225

225 is 125% of the amount because the amount was increased by 25%. 125% = 1.25.
 
If it asked you for 25% of 225, you'd have 0.25n = 225, but that's not what it's asking.
