25.03 is what percent of 1001 - 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 1001 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 1001, so we can write it down as 100%=1001.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1001
2) x%=25.03
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%=1001/25.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.03 is what percent of 1001

100%/x%=1001/25.03
(100/x)*x=(1001/25.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=39.992009588494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.992009588494) to get x
100/39.992009588494=x
2.5004995004995=x
x=2.5004995004995

now we have:
25.03 is 2.5004995004995% of 1001
