What is 25.61 percent of 2.89 - 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 2.89 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 2.89 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.89=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.61% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.61%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.89=100%
2) x=25.61%
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:
2.89/x=100%/25.61%
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 25.61% of 2.89

2.89/x=100/25.61
(2.89/x)*x=(100/25.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.89=3.9047247169075*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9047247169075) to get x
2.89/3.9047247169075=x
0.740129=x
x=0.740129

now we have:
25.61% of 2.89=0.740129
