2.68 is what percent of 25.49 - 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 25.49 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 25.49, so we can write it down as 100%=25.49.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.49
2) x%=2.68
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%=25.49/2.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.68 is what percent of 25.49

100%/x%=25.49/2.68
(100/x)*x=(25.49/2.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.5111940298507*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.5111940298507) to get x
100/9.5111940298507=x
10.513927030208=x
x=10.513927030208

now we have:
2.68 is 10.513927030208% of 25.49
