25 is what percent of 220000000 - 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 220000000 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 220000000, so we can write it down as 100%=220000000.
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%=220000000
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%=220000000/25
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 220000000

100%/x%=220000000/25
(100/x)*x=(220000000/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8800000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8800000) to get x
100/8800000=x
1.1363636363636E-5=x
x=1.1363636363636E-5

now we have:
25 is 1.1363636363636E-5% of 220000000
