25 is what percent of 61200 - 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 61200 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 61200, so we can write it down as 100%=61200.
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%=61200
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%=61200/25
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 61200

100%/x%=61200/25
(100/x)*x=(61200/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2448*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2448) to get x
100/2448=x
0.040849673202614=x
x=0.040849673202614

now we have:
25 is 0.040849673202614% of 61200
