25.14 is what percent of 62.86 - 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 62.86 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 62.86, so we can write it down as 100%=62.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62.86
2) x%=25.14
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%=62.86/25.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.14 is what percent of 62.86

100%/x%=62.86/25.14
(100/x)*x=(62.86/25.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5003977724741*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5003977724741) to get x
100/2.5003977724741=x
39.993636652879=x
x=39.993636652879

now we have:
25.14 is 39.993636652879% of 62.86
