_______________________________________________  
Explanation:
____________________________________________
   5 = 0.04 * x ; solve for "x" ;

Divide EACH side of the equation by "0.04" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

↔ (0.04)x = 5 ;
 
    (0.04)x / 0.04 = 5 / 0.04 ;
        
             x = 5 / 0.04 ; 
 
             x = 125 .
