Answer:

175

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see what James DID to the number (let it be x):

x - 5 [firstly he did this]

then

(x - 5)/5

This is equal to 5.

So,

\frac{x-5}{5}=5\\x-5=25\\x=30

So, this number is 30

The correct answer would thus be:

Adding 5 to 30, which gives us 35

And then multiply by 5, which gives us 35 * 5 = 175
