What is 20.24 percent of 25.3 - 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 25.3 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 25.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25.3=100%
2) x=20.24%
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:
25.3/x=100%/20.24%
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 20.24% of 25.3

25.3/x=100/20.24
(25.3/x)*x=(100/20.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25.3=4.9407114624506*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9407114624506) to get x
25.3/4.9407114624506=x
5.12072=x
x=5.12072

now we have:
20.24% of 25.3=5.12072
