25 is what percent of 226073 - 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 226073 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 226073, so we can write it down as 100%=226073.
4. We know, that x% equals 25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=226073
2) x%=25
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%=226073/25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25 is what percent of 226073

100%/x%=226073/25
(100/x)*x=(226073/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9042.92*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9042.92) to get x
100/9042.92=x
0.011058374949684=x
x=0.011058374949684

now we have:
