Answer: 72%
Step by Step Explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 25 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 25, so we can write it down as 100%=25.
4. We know, that x% equals 18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25
2) x%=18
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%=25/18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 18 is what percent of 25
100%/x%=25/18
(100/x)*x=(25/18)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.38888888889*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.38888888889) to get x
100/1.38888888889=x
72=x
x=72
now we have:
18 is 72% of 25
