25 is what percent of 50677 - 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 50677 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 50677, so we can write it down as 100%=50677.
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%=50677
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%=50677/25
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 50677

100%/x%=50677/25
(100/x)*x=(50677/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2027.08*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2027.08) to get x
100/2027.08=x
0.04933204412258=x
x=0.04933204412258

now we have:
25 is 0.04933204412258% of 50677
