What is 25 percent of 151.06 - 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 151.06 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 151.06 is 100%, so we can write it down as 151.06=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) 151.06=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:
151.06/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 151.06

151.06/x=100/25
(151.06/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
151.06=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
151.06/4=x
37.765=x
x=37.765

now we have:
25% of 151.06=37.765
