0.75 is what percent of 249.25 - step by step solution

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

1. We assume, that the number 249.25 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 249.25, so we can write it down as 100%=249.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=249.25
2) x%=0.75
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%=249.25/0.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.75 is what percent of 249.25

100%/x%=249.25/0.75
(100/x)*x=(249.25/0.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=332.33333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (332.33333333333) to get x
100/332.33333333333=x
0.30090270812437=x
x=0.30090270812437

now we have:
0.75 is 0.30090270812437% of 249.25
