25 is what percent of 20030 - 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 20030 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 20030, so we can write it down as 100%=20030.
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%=20030
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%=20030/25
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 20030

100%/x%=20030/25
(100/x)*x=(20030/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=801.2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (801.2) to get x
100/801.2=x
0.12481278082876=x
x=0.12481278082876

now we have:
25 is 0.12481278082876% of 20030
