1.22 is what percent of 250 - 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 250 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 250, so we can write it down as 100%=250.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=1.22
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%=250/1.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.22 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/1.22
(100/x)*x=(250/1.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=204.91803278689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (204.91803278689) to get x
100/204.91803278689=x
0.488=x
x=0.488

now we have:
1.22 is 0.488% of 250
