What is 25 percent of 43.225 - 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 43.225 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 43.225 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43.225=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) 43.225=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:
43.225/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 43.225

43.225/x=100/25
(43.225/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43.225=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
43.225/4=x
10.80625=x
x=10.80625

now we have:
25% of 43.225=10.80625
