25 is what percent of 7288 - 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 7288 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 7288, so we can write it down as 100%=7288.
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%=7288
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%=7288/25
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 7288

100%/x%=7288/25
(100/x)*x=(7288/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=291.52*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (291.52) to get x
100/291.52=x
0.3430296377607=x
x=0.3430296377607

now we have:
25 is 0.3430296377607% of 7288
