(A) Let the number be $x$.According to the problem,the number multiplied by $25 \%$ of itself is equal to the number plus $200 \%$ of the number.$25 \%$ of $x = \frac{25}{100}x = \frac{x}{4}$.$200 \%$ more than $x = x + 200 \% 	ext{ of } x = x + 2x = 3x$.Setting up the equation:$x 	imes \frac{x}{4} = 3x$.Since $x$ cannot be $0$ (as the result is $200 \%$ more than the number),we can divide both sides by $x$:$\frac{x}{4} = 3$.$x = 3 	imes 4 = 12$.Therefore,the number is $12$.

If a number multiplied by $25 \%$ of itself gives a number which is $200 \%$ more than the number,then the number is:
