25 is what percent of 10083 - 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 10083 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 10083, so we can write it down as 100%=10083.
4. We know, that x% equals 25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10083
2) x%=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%=10083/25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25 is what percent of 10083

100%/x%=10083/25
(100/x)*x=(10083/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=403.32*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (403.32) to get x
100/403.32=x
0.24794208072994=x
x=0.24794208072994

now we have:
25 is 0.24794208072994% of 10083
