2.35 is what percent of 25.48 - 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 25.48 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 25.48, so we can write it down as 100%=25.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.48
2) x%=2.35
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%=25.48/2.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.35 is what percent of 25.48

100%/x%=25.48/2.35
(100/x)*x=(25.48/2.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.842553191489*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.842553191489) to get x
100/10.842553191489=x
9.2229199372057=x
x=9.2229199372057

now we have:
2.35 is 9.2229199372057% of 25.48
