6939.36 is what percent of 25700 - 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 25700 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 25700, so we can write it down as 100%=25700.
4. We know, that x% equals 6939.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6939.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25700
2) x%=6939.36
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%=25700/6939.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6939.36 is what percent of 25700

100%/x%=25700/6939.36
(100/x)*x=(25700/6939.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.703511563026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.703511563026) to get x
100/3.703511563026=x
27.00140077821=x
x=27.00140077821

now we have:
6939.36 is 27.00140077821% of 25700
