What is 25.5 percent of 220 - 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 220 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 220 is 100%, so we can write it down as 220=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 220=100%
2) x=25.5%
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:
220/x=100%/25.5%
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 25.5% of 220

220/x=100/25.5
(220/x)*x=(100/25.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
220=3.921568627451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.921568627451) to get x
220/3.921568627451=x
56.1=x
x=56.1

now we have:
25.5% of 220=56.1
