78 is what percent of 25.611 - 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 25.611 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 25.611, so we can write it down as 100%=25.611.
4. We know, that x% equals 78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.611
2) x%=78
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%=25.611/78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 78 is what percent of 25.611

100%/x%=25.611/78
(100/x)*x=(25.611/78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.32834615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.32834615384615) to get x
100/0.32834615384615=x
304.55663582055=x
x=304.55663582055

now we have:
78 is 304.55663582055% of 25.611
