25 is what percent of 16.27 - 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 16.27 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 16.27, so we can write it down as 100%=16.27.
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%=16.27
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%=16.27/25
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 16.27

100%/x%=16.27/25
(100/x)*x=(16.27/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.6508*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.6508) to get x
100/0.6508=x
153.65703749232=x
x=153.65703749232

now we have:
25 is 153.65703749232% of 16.27
