What is 6.25 percent of 404.1 - 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 404.1 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 404.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 404.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 404.1=100%
2) x=6.25%
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:
404.1/x=100%/6.25%
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 6.25% of 404.1

404.1/x=100/6.25
(404.1/x)*x=(100/6.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
404.1=16*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16) to get x
404.1/16=x
25.25625=x
x=25.25625

now we have:
6.25% of 404.1=25.25625
