21715.5 is what percent of 20425 - 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 20425 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 100% equals 20425, so we can write it down as 100%=20425.
4. We know, that x% equals 21715.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21715.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20425
2) x%=21715.5
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:
100%/x%=20425/21715.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21715.5 is what percent of 20425

100%/x%=20425/21715.5
(100/x)*x=(20425/21715.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100/0.94057240220119=x
106.3182374541=x
x=106.3182374541

now we have:
