25 is what percent of 166.67 - 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 166.67 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 166.67, so we can write it down as 100%=166.67.
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%=166.67
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%=166.67/25
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 166.67

100%/x%=166.67/25
(100/x)*x=(166.67/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6668*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6668) to get x
100/6.6668=x
14.999700006=x
x=14.999700006

now we have:
25 is 14.999700006% of 166.67
