What is 25.69 percent of 144 - 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 144 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 144 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.69% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.69%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144=100%
2) x=25.69%
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:
144/x=100%/25.69%
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 25.69% of 144

144/x=100/25.69
(144/x)*x=(100/25.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144=3.8925652004671*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8925652004671) to get x
144/3.8925652004671=x
36.9936=x
x=36.9936

now we have:
25.69% of 144=36.9936
