What is 17996 percent of 25 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17996% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17996%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25=100%
2) x=17996%
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/x=100%/17996%
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 17996% of 25

25/x=100/17996
(25/x)*x=(100/17996)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25=0.0055567903978662*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0055567903978662) to get x
25/0.0055567903978662=x
4499=x
x=4499

now we have:
17996% of 25=4499
