What is 25 percent of 10.11 - 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 10.11 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 10.11 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10.11=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10.11=100%
2) x=25%
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:
10.11/x=100%/25%
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 25% of 10.11

10.11/x=100/25
(10.11/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10.11=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
10.11/4=x
2.5275=x
x=2.5275

now we have:
25% of 10.11=2.5275
