0.45 is what percent of 25.34 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 25.34 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 25.34, so we can write it down as 100%=25.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.34
2) x%=0.45
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=25.34/0.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.45 is what percent of 25.34

100%/x%=25.34/0.45
(100/x)*x=(25.34/0.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.311111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.311111111111) to get x
100/56.311111111111=x
1.7758484609313=x
x=1.7758484609313

now we have:
0.45 is 1.7758484609313% of 25.34
