25.18 is what percent of 34.76 - 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 34.76 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 34.76, so we can write it down as 100%=34.76.
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%=34.76
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%=34.76/25.18
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 34.76

100%/x%=34.76/25.18
(100/x)*x=(34.76/25.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3804606830818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3804606830818) to get x
100/1.3804606830818=x
72.439585730725=x
x=72.439585730725

now we have:
25.18 is 72.439585730725% of 34.76
