25 is what percent of 64599 - 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 64599 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 64599, so we can write it down as 100%=64599.
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%=64599
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%=64599/25
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 64599

100%/x%=64599/25
(100/x)*x=(64599/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2583.96*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2583.96) to get x
100/2583.96=x
0.038700289478165=x
x=0.038700289478165

now we have:
