What is 25 percent of 3146.93 - 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 3146.93 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 3146.93 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3146.93=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) 3146.93=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:
3146.93/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 3146.93

3146.93/x=100/25
(3146.93/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3146.93=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
3146.93/4=x
786.7325=x
x=786.7325

now we have:
25% of 3146.93=786.7325
