23.5 is what percent of 25.75 - 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 25.75 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 25.75, so we can write it down as 100%=25.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.75
2) x%=23.5
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%=25.75/23.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.5 is what percent of 25.75

100%/x%=25.75/23.5
(100/x)*x=(25.75/23.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0957446808511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0957446808511) to get x
100/1.0957446808511=x
91.26213592233=x
x=91.26213592233

now we have:
23.5 is 91.26213592233% of 25.75
