25.83 is what percent of 530.64 - 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 530.64 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 530.64, so we can write it down as 100%=530.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=530.64
2) x%=25.83
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%=530.64/25.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.83 is what percent of 530.64

100%/x%=530.64/25.83
(100/x)*x=(530.64/25.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.543554006969*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.543554006969) to get x
100/20.543554006969=x
4.8677069199457=x
x=4.8677069199457

now we have:
25.83 is 4.8677069199457% of 530.64
