n = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert words into an expression

Number n is 25 less than 120% of itself. What is the value of n?

25 less than 120% of itself can be represented as:  1.2n - 25

n = 1.2n - 25

Step 2:  Add Subtract 1.2 from both sides

n - 1.2n = 1.2n - 25 - 1.2n

-0.2n = -25

Step 3:  Divide both sides by -0.2

-0.2n / -0.2 = -25 / -0.2

n = 125

n = 125
