28.18 is what percent of 425 - 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 425 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 425, so we can write it down as 100%=425.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=425
2) x%=28.18
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%=425/28.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.18 is what percent of 425

100%/x%=425/28.18
(100/x)*x=(425/28.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.081618168914*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.081618168914) to get x
100/15.081618168914=x
6.6305882352941=x
x=6.6305882352941

now we have:
28.18 is 6.6305882352941% of 425
