What is 27.1 percent of 25000 - 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 25000 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 25000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25000=100%
2) x=27.1%
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:
25000/x=100%/27.1%
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 27.1% of 25000

25000/x=100/27.1
(25000/x)*x=(100/27.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25000=3.690036900369*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.690036900369) to get x
25000/3.690036900369=x
6775=x
x=6775

now we have:
27.1% of 25000=6775
