25.5 is what percent of 0.03 - 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 0.03 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 0.03, so we can write it down as 100%=0.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.03
2) x%=25.5
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%=0.03/25.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.5 is what percent of 0.03

100%/x%=0.03/25.5
(100/x)*x=(0.03/25.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0011764705882353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0011764705882353) to get x
100/0.0011764705882353=x
85000=x
x=85000

now we have:
25.5 is 85000% of 0.03
