What is 25.6 percent of 3.395 - 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 3.395 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 3.395 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.395=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.395=100%
2) x=25.6%
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:
3.395/x=100%/25.6%
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 25.6% of 3.395

3.395/x=100/25.6
(3.395/x)*x=(100/25.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.395=3.90625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.90625) to get x
3.395/3.90625=x
0.86912=x
x=0.86912

now we have:
25.6% of 3.395=0.86912
