25.6 is what percent of 3014 - 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 3014 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 3014, so we can write it down as 100%=3014.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3014
2) x%=25.6
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%=3014/25.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.6 is what percent of 3014

100%/x%=3014/25.6
(100/x)*x=(3014/25.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=117.734375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (117.734375) to get x
100/117.734375=x
0.8493696084937=x
x=0.8493696084937

now we have:
25.6 is 0.8493696084937% of 3014
