What is 25 percent of 760.88 - 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 760.88 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 760.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 760.88=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) 760.88=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:
760.88/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 760.88

760.88/x=100/25
(760.88/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
760.88=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
760.88/4=x
190.22=x
x=190.22

now we have:
25% of 760.88=190.22
