25.61 is what percent of 44.8 - 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 44.8 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 44.8, so we can write it down as 100%=44.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=44.8
2) x%=25.61
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%=44.8/25.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.61 is what percent of 44.8

100%/x%=44.8/25.61
(100/x)*x=(44.8/25.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7493166731745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7493166731745) to get x
100/1.7493166731745=x
57.165178571429=x
x=57.165178571429

now we have:
25.61 is 57.165178571429% of 44.8
