What is 25 percent of 527.27 - 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 527.27 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 527.27 is 100%, so we can write it down as 527.27=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) 527.27=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:
527.27/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 527.27

527.27/x=100/25
(527.27/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
527.27=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
527.27/4=x
131.8175=x
x=131.8175

now we have:
25% of 527.27=131.8175
