What is 25.25 percent of 5125 - 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 5125 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 5125 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5125=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5125=100%
2) x=25.25%
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:
5125/x=100%/25.25%
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 25.25% of 5125

5125/x=100/25.25
(5125/x)*x=(100/25.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5125=3.960396039604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.960396039604) to get x
5125/3.960396039604=x
1294.0625=x
x=1294.0625

now we have:
25.25% of 5125=1294.0625
