What is 6.725 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 6.725% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.725%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25000=100%
2) x=6.725%
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%/6.725%
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 6.725% of 25000

25000/x=100/6.725
(25000/x)*x=(100/6.725)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25000=14.869888475836*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.869888475836) to get x
25000/14.869888475836=x
1681.25=x
x=1681.25

now we have:
6.725% of 25000=1681.25
