25 is what percent of 36.37 - 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 36.37 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 36.37, so we can write it down as 100%=36.37.
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%=36.37
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%=36.37/25
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 36.37

100%/x%=36.37/25
(100/x)*x=(36.37/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4548*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4548) to get x
100/1.4548=x
68.7379708551=x
x=68.7379708551

now we have:
25 is 68.7379708551% of 36.37
