0.

2. Solution Steps

Let $x$ be the missing value. The problem can be expressed as the following equation:

$25\% \times x = 120$

We can rewrite 25% as a decimal by dividing by 100:

$25\% = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25$

So the equation becomes:

$0.25 \times x = 120$

To solve for $x$, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:

$x = \frac{120}{0.25}$

To divide by 0.25, we can multiply by the reciprocal of 0.25, which is 4:

$x = 120 \times 4$

$x = 480$

3. Final Answer

The missing value is 480.
