$775.08$

Explanation:

$968.85$ is $125%$ of what number?

Use the formula "is over of equal percent over 100# or

$"is"/"of" = "%"/100$

$968.85/x = 125/100$

Cross multiply

$125x=968.85 * 100$

$125x=96885$

$(125x)/125=96885/125color(white)(aaa)$ Divide both sides by 125

$x=775.08$

Another way to solve the problem is to first change the percent to a decimal by dividing by 100 and then to recall that "is" means equal and "of" means multiply.

$(125%)/100= 1.25$

$968.85= 1.25 * x$

$968.85/1.25 =(1.25x)/1.25$

$775.08=x$
