25.2 is what percent of 57.27 - 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 57.27 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 57.27, so we can write it down as 100%=57.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=57.27
2) x%=25.2
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%=57.27/25.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.2 is what percent of 57.27

100%/x%=57.27/25.2
(100/x)*x=(57.27/25.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.272619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.272619047619) to get x
100/2.272619047619=x
44.002095337873=x
x=44.002095337873

now we have:
25.2 is 44.002095337873% of 57.27
