25 is what percent of 132.44 - 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 132.44 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 132.44, so we can write it down as 100%=132.44.
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%=132.44
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%=132.44/25
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 132.44

100%/x%=132.44/25
(100/x)*x=(132.44/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2976*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2976) to get x
100/5.2976=x
18.876472364844=x
x=18.876472364844

now we have:
25 is 18.876472364844% of 132.44
