What is 0.0625 percent of 25000 - 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 25000 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 25000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25000=100%
2) x=0.0625%
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:
25000/x=100%/0.0625%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.0625% of 25000

25000/x=100/0.0625
(25000/x)*x=(100/0.0625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25000=1600*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1600) to get x
25000/1600=x
15.625=x
x=15.625

now we have:
0.0625% of 25000=15.625
