What is 98750 percent of 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 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 25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 98750% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98750%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25=100%
2) x=98750%
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/x=100%/98750%
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 98750% of 25

25/x=100/98750
(25/x)*x=(100/98750)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25=0.0010126582278481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0010126582278481) to get x
25/0.0010126582278481=x
24687.5=x
x=24687.5

now we have:
98750% of 25=24687.5
