25.77 is what percent of 3200 - 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 3200 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 3200, so we can write it down as 100%=3200.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3200
2) x%=25.77
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%=3200/25.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.77 is what percent of 3200

100%/x%=3200/25.77
(100/x)*x=(3200/25.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=124.17539774932*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (124.17539774932) to get x
100/124.17539774932=x
0.8053125=x
x=0.8053125

now we have:
25.77 is 0.8053125% of 3200
