8.68 is what percent of 25.18 - 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 25.18 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 25.18, so we can write it down as 100%=25.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.18
2) x%=8.68
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%=25.18/8.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.68 is what percent of 25.18

100%/x%=25.18/8.68
(100/x)*x=(25.18/8.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9009216589862*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9009216589862) to get x
100/2.9009216589862=x
34.471803018268=x
x=34.471803018268

now we have:
8.68 is 34.471803018268% of 25.18
