34.99 is what percent of 25.01 - 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 25.01 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 25.01, so we can write it down as 100%=25.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.01
2) x%=34.99
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%=25.01/34.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.99 is what percent of 25.01

100%/x%=25.01/34.99
(100/x)*x=(25.01/34.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.71477565018577*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.71477565018577) to get x
100/0.71477565018577=x
139.90403838465=x
x=139.90403838465

now we have:
34.99 is 139.90403838465% of 25.01
