What is 25 percent of 18610 - 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 18610 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 18610 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18610=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) 18610=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:
18610/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 18610

18610/x=100/25
(18610/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18610=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
18610/4=x
4652.5=x
x=4652.5

now we have:
25% of 18610=4652.5
