I suck at math, so please help: If $7,975.43 represents 5% of a total amount, how do I solve for the total?

Er, also what Glen typed.

x*.05 = 7975.43. solve for x, which is the same as what glen said

Much appreciation and admiration. Thanks!

:) Always set your problem up and solve for the variable (unknown), As Glen and Akiva have pointed out, you have one unknown. Imabug set it up for you. But learn the logic so that you can set up for more variables in future.
