find the amount when the base and percent are known.
Convert 25% to decimal
remove the % symbol. Divide 25 by 100
25 / 100 = 0.25
multiply 5800 times the decimal
5800 x 0.25 = 1450
The amount Php is 1450
1450 is 25% of 5800

5800 includes 100% of the rent (x) and 25% profit from the rent, therefore it is equivalent to 125% of the rent
5800 = (125%)x
5800 = 1.25x ... (change % to decimal form)
5800 = 1.25x ... solve for x, divide both sides by 1.25
4640 = x ... therefore the rent is 4640
now find the profit ...
5800 - 4640 = profit
1160 = profit
