778.7 is what percent of 25990 - 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 25990 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 25990, so we can write it down as 100%=25990.
4. We know, that x% equals 778.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=778.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25990
2) x%=778.7
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%=25990/778.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 778.7 is what percent of 25990

100%/x%=25990/778.7
(100/x)*x=(25990/778.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.376139720046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.376139720046) to get x
100/33.376139720046=x
2.9961523662947=x
x=2.9961523662947

now we have:
778.7 is 2.9961523662947% of 25990
