What is 10.157 percent of 25.77 - 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 25.77 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 25.77 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25.77=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.157% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.157%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25.77=100%
2) x=10.157%
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:
25.77/x=100%/10.157%
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 10.157% of 25.77

25.77/x=100/10.157
(25.77/x)*x=(100/10.157)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25.77=9.8454267992517*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8454267992517) to get x
25.77/9.8454267992517=x
2.6174589=x
x=2.6174589

now we have:
10.157% of 25.77=2.6174589
