What is 8.422 percent of 25.499 - 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 25.499 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 25.499 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25.499=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.422% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.422%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25.499=100%
2) x=8.422%
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:
25.499/x=100%/8.422%
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 8.422% of 25.499
