23.75 is what percent of 25.8 - 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 25.8 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 25.8, so we can write it down as 100%=25.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.8
2) x%=23.75
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%=25.8/23.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.75 is what percent of 25.8

100%/x%=25.8/23.75
(100/x)*x=(25.8/23.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0863157894737*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0863157894737) to get x
100/1.0863157894737=x
92.054263565891=x
x=92.054263565891

now we have:
23.75 is 92.054263565891% of 25.8
