25.55 is what percent of 34.68 - 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 34.68 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 34.68, so we can write it down as 100%=34.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.68
2) x%=25.55
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%=34.68/25.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.55 is what percent of 34.68

100%/x%=34.68/25.55
(100/x)*x=(34.68/25.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3573385518591*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3573385518591) to get x
100/1.3573385518591=x
73.673587081892=x
x=73.673587081892

now we have:
25.55 is 73.673587081892% of 34.68
