25.5 is what percent of 29.994 - 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 29.994 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 29.994, so we can write it down as 100%=29.994.
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%=29.994
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%=29.994/25.5
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 29.994

100%/x%=29.994/25.5
(100/x)*x=(29.994/25.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1762352941176*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1762352941176) to get x
100/1.1762352941176=x
85.01700340068=x
x=85.01700340068

now we have:
25.5 is 85.01700340068% of 29.994
