25958.35 is what percent of 35000 - 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 35000 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 35000, so we can write it down as 100%=35000.
4. We know, that x% equals 25958.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25958.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35000
2) x%=25958.35
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%=35000/25958.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25958.35 is what percent of 35000

100%/x%=35000/25958.35
(100/x)*x=(35000/25958.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3483137410506*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3483137410506) to get x
100/1.3483137410506=x
74.166714285714=x
x=74.166714285714

now we have:
