25.18 is what percent of 235 - 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 235 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 235, so we can write it down as 100%=235.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=235
2) x%=25.18
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%=235/25.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.18 is what percent of 235

100%/x%=235/25.18
(100/x)*x=(235/25.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3328038125496*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3328038125496) to get x
100/9.3328038125496=x
10.714893617021=x
x=10.714893617021

now we have:
25.18 is 10.714893617021% of 235
