Hi Emily

If you have 25 g of phenolphthalein and want to prepare a 1% solution (w/w) you:

    25 g ...................  1 
    x  g (solvent) ......... 100

    where x = 2500 g of ethyl alcohol which corresponds to 3387.5 ml. 


   This solution can be done at room temperature and must be kept in well 
closed bottles.
