1.12 is what percent of 25.12 - 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 25.12 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 25.12, so we can write it down as 100%=25.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.12
2) x%=1.12
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%=25.12/1.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.12 is what percent of 25.12

100%/x%=25.12/1.12
(100/x)*x=(25.12/1.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.428571428571) to get x
100/22.428571428571=x
4.4585987261146=x
x=4.4585987261146

now we have:
1.12 is 4.4585987261146% of 25.12
