25 is what percent of 3.292 - 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 3.292 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 3.292, so we can write it down as 100%=3.292.
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%=3.292
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%=3.292/25
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 3.292

100%/x%=3.292/25
(100/x)*x=(3.292/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.13168*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13168) to get x
100/0.13168=x
759.41676792224=x
x=759.41676792224

now we have:
25 is 759.41676792224% of 3.292
