Hello!

Looking for a Genius Answer? Here It Is!

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 150 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 150, so we can write it down as 100%=150.
4. We know, that x% equals 25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=150
2) x%=25
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%=150/25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25 is what percent of 150

100%/x%=150/25
(100/x)*x=(150/25)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (6) to get x
100/6=x
16.6666666667=x
x=16.6666666667

now we have:
25 is 16.6666666667% of 150


Hope this Helps! Took Me Time! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
