What is 24.999996 percent of 10.283 - 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 10.283 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 10.283 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10.283=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.999996% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.999996%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10.283=100%
2) x=24.999996%
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:
10.283/x=100%/24.999996%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 24.999996% of 10.283

10.283/x=100/24.999996
(10.283/x)*x=(100/24.999996)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10.283=4.0000006400001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0000006400001) to get x
10.283/4.0000006400001=x
2.57074958868=x
x=2.57074958868

now we have:
24.999996% of 10.283=2.57074958868
