25.69 is what percent of 405.436 - 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 405.436 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 405.436, so we can write it down as 100%=405.436.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=405.436
2) x%=25.69
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%=405.436/25.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.69 is what percent of 405.436

100%/x%=405.436/25.69
(100/x)*x=(405.436/25.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.781860646166*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.781860646166) to get x
100/15.781860646166=x
6.3363884805493=x
x=6.3363884805493

now we have:
