Answer:

23.445

Explanation:

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

1. We assume, that the number 93.78 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 93.78 is 100%, so we can write it down as 93.78=100%.

4. We know, that x is 25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 93.78=100%

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:

93.78/x=100%/25%

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% of 93.78

93.78/x=100/25

(93.78/x)*x=(100/25)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

93.78=4*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x

93.78/4=x

23.445=x

x=23.445

now we have:

25% of 93.78=23.445
