What is 25 percent of 89375 - 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 89375 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 89375 is 100%, so we can write it down as 89375=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) 89375=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:
89375/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 89375

89375/x=100/25
(89375/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
89375=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
89375/4=x
22343.75=x
x=22343.75

now we have:
25% of 89375=22343.75
