1.89 is what percent of 0.25 - 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 0.25 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 0.25, so we can write it down as 100%=0.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.25
2) x%=1.89
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%=0.25/1.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.89 is what percent of 0.25

100%/x%=0.25/1.89
(100/x)*x=(0.25/1.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.13227513227513*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13227513227513) to get x
100/0.13227513227513=x
756=x
x=756

now we have:
1.89 is 756% of 0.25
