25.13 is what percent of 37.5 - 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 37.5 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 37.5, so we can write it down as 100%=37.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37.5
2) x%=25.13
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%=37.5/25.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.13 is what percent of 37.5

100%/x%=37.5/25.13
(100/x)*x=(37.5/25.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4922403501791*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4922403501791) to get x
100/1.4922403501791=x
67.013333333333=x
x=67.013333333333

now we have:
25.13 is 67.013333333333% of 37.5
