What is 25.42 percent of 6.4 - 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 6.4 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 6.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.42% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.42%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.4=100%
2) x=25.42%
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:
6.4/x=100%/25.42%
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 25.42% of 6.4

6.4/x=100/25.42
(6.4/x)*x=(100/25.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.4=3.933910306845*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.933910306845) to get x
6.4/3.933910306845=x
1.62688=x
x=1.62688

now we have:
25.42% of 6.4=1.62688
