25 is what percent of 111 - 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 111 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 111, so we can write it down as 100%=111.
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%=111
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%=111/25
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 111

100%/x%=111/25
(100/x)*x=(111/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.44*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.44) to get x
100/4.44=x
22.5225225225=x
x=22.5225225225

now we have:
25 is 22.5225225225% of 111
