What is 25 percent of 2632 - 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 2632 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 2632 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2632=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) 2632=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:
2632/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 2632

2632/x=100/25
(2632/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2632=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
2632/4=x
658=x
x=658

now we have:
25% of 2632=658
