Hello,

shall we begin?


Rule of three:
25.83..........................52.5%
x.................................100%

52.5% * x = 25.83 * 100
52.5x = 2,583
x = 2,583 / 52.5
x = 49.2


Answer: 49.2

percent means parst ouf o 100
52.5%=52.5/100=0.525

'of' means multiply

25.83 is 52.5% of x means
25.83=0.525 times x
divide both sides by 0.525
49.2=x

the number is 49.2
