20.625 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.625 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.625.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=20.625
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%=1/20.625
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.625 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/20.625
(100/x)*x=(1/20.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.048484848484848*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.048484848484848) to get x
100/0.048484848484848=x
2062.5=x
x=2062.5

now we have:
20.625 is 2062.5% of 1
