25 is what percent of 443.3 - 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 443.3 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 443.3, so we can write it down as 100%=443.3.
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%=443.3
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%=443.3/25
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 443.3

100%/x%=443.3/25
(100/x)*x=(443.3/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.732) to get x
100/17.732=x
5.639521768554=x
x=5.639521768554

now we have:
25 is 5.639521768554% of 443.3
