25.41 is what percent of 54.59 - 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 54.59 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 54.59, so we can write it down as 100%=54.59.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.59
2) x%=25.41
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%=54.59/25.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.41 is what percent of 54.59

100%/x%=54.59/25.41
(100/x)*x=(54.59/25.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1483667847304*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1483667847304) to get x
100/2.1483667847304=x
46.546986627587=x
x=46.546986627587

now we have:
25.41 is 46.546986627587% of 54.59
