25.79 is what percent of 92.1 - 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 92.1 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 92.1, so we can write it down as 100%=92.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=92.1
2) x%=25.79
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%=92.1/25.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.79 is what percent of 92.1

100%/x%=92.1/25.79
(100/x)*x=(92.1/25.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5711516091508*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5711516091508) to get x
100/3.5711516091508=x
28.00217155266=x
x=28.00217155266

now we have:
25.79 is 28.00217155266% of 92.1
