What is 1669 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1669% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1669%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=1669%
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:
2.5/x=100%/1669%
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 1669% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/1669
(2.5/x)*x=(100/1669)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=0.05991611743559*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.05991611743559) to get x
2.5/0.05991611743559=x
41.725=x
x=41.725

now we have:
1669% of 2.5=41.725
