What is 6.666666 percent of 0.25 - 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 0.25 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 0.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.666666% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.666666%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.25=100%
2) x=6.666666%
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:
0.25/x=100%/6.666666%
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 6.666666% of 0.25

0.25/x=100/6.666666
(0.25/x)*x=(100/6.666666)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.25=15.0000015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.0000015) to get x
0.25/15.0000015=x
0.016666665=x
x=0.016666665

now we have:
6.666666% of 0.25=0.016666665
