25.48 is what percent of 706.74 - 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 706.74 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 706.74, so we can write it down as 100%=706.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=706.74
2) x%=25.48
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%=706.74/25.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.48 is what percent of 706.74

100%/x%=706.74/25.48
(100/x)*x=(706.74/25.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.73704866562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.73704866562) to get x
100/27.73704866562=x
3.6052862438804=x
x=3.6052862438804

now we have:
25.48 is 3.6052862438804% of 706.74
