25.46 is what percent of 3.28 - 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 3.28 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 3.28, so we can write it down as 100%=3.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.28
2) x%=25.46
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%=3.28/25.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.46 is what percent of 3.28

100%/x%=3.28/25.46
(100/x)*x=(3.28/25.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.12882953652789*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.12882953652789) to get x
100/0.12882953652789=x
776.21951219512=x
x=776.21951219512

now we have:
25.46 is 776.21951219512% of 3.28
