What is 25.9 percent of 23.91 - 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 23.91 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 23.91 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23.91=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23.91=100%
2) x=25.9%
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:
23.91/x=100%/25.9%
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 25.9% of 23.91

23.91/x=100/25.9
(23.91/x)*x=(100/25.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23.91=3.8610038610039*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8610038610039) to get x
23.91/3.8610038610039=x
6.19269=x
x=6.19269

now we have:
25.9% of 23.91=6.19269
