What is 25.24 percent of 878.28 - 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 878.28 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 878.28 is 100%, so we can write it down as 878.28=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 878.28=100%
2) x=25.24%
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:
878.28/x=100%/25.24%
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 25.24% of 878.28

878.28/x=100/25.24
(878.28/x)*x=(100/25.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
878.28=3.9619651347068*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9619651347068) to get x
878.28/3.9619651347068=x
221.677872=x
x=221.677872

now we have:
