What is 51.724 percent of 25.7 - 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 25.7 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 25.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 51.724% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=51.724%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25.7=100%
2) x=51.724%
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:
25.7/x=100%/51.724%
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 51.724% of 25.7

25.7/x=100/51.724
(25.7/x)*x=(100/51.724)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25.7=1.9333384889026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9333384889026) to get x
25.7/1.9333384889026=x
13.293068=x
x=13.293068

now we have:
51.724% of 25.7=13.293068
