276.77 is what percent of 25000 - 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 25000 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 25000, so we can write it down as 100%=25000.
4. We know, that x% equals 276.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=276.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25000
2) x%=276.77
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%=25000/276.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 276.77 is what percent of 25000

100%/x%=25000/276.77
(100/x)*x=(25000/276.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=90.327708927991*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (90.327708927991) to get x
100/90.327708927991=x
1.10708=x
x=1.10708

now we have:
276.77 is 1.10708% of 25000
