109.25 is what percent of 325 - 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 325 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 325, so we can write it down as 100%=325.
4. We know, that x% equals 109.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=109.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325
2) x%=109.25
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%=325/109.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 109.25 is what percent of 325

100%/x%=325/109.25
(100/x)*x=(325/109.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.974828375286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.974828375286) to get x
100/2.974828375286=x
33.615384615385=x
x=33.615384615385

now we have:
109.25 is 33.615384615385% of 325
