6.35 is what percent of 25.45 - 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 25.45 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 25.45, so we can write it down as 100%=25.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.45
2) x%=6.35
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%=25.45/6.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.35 is what percent of 25.45

100%/x%=25.45/6.35
(100/x)*x=(25.45/6.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.007874015748*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.007874015748) to get x
100/4.007874015748=x
24.950884086444=x
x=24.950884086444

now we have:
6.35 is 24.950884086444% of 25.45
