25 is what percent of 28.375 - 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 28.375 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 28.375, so we can write it down as 100%=28.375.
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%=28.375
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%=28.375/25
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 28.375

100%/x%=28.375/25
(100/x)*x=(28.375/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.135*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.135) to get x
100/1.135=x
88.105726872247=x
x=88.105726872247

now we have:
25 is 88.105726872247% of 28.375
