25.23 is what percent of 1284 - 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 1284 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 1284, so we can write it down as 100%=1284.
4. We know, that x% equals 25.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1284
2) x%=25.23
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%=1284/25.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.23 is what percent of 1284

100%/x%=1284/25.23
(100/x)*x=(1284/25.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.89179548157*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.89179548157) to get x
100/50.89179548157=x
1.964953271028=x
x=1.964953271028

now we have:
25.23 is 1.964953271028% of 1284
