What is 25.1 percent of 2.62 - 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 2.62 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 2.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.62=100%
2) x=25.1%
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:
2.62/x=100%/25.1%
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 25.1% of 2.62

2.62/x=100/25.1
(2.62/x)*x=(100/25.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.62=3.9840637450199*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9840637450199) to get x
2.62/3.9840637450199=x
0.65762=x
x=0.65762

now we have:
25.1% of 2.62=0.65762
