1006.31 is what percent of 1256 - 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 1256 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 1256, so we can write it down as 100%=1256.
4. We know, that x% equals 1006.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1006.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1256
2) x%=1006.31
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%=1256/1006.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1006.31 is what percent of 1256

100%/x%=1256/1006.31
(100/x)*x=(1256/1006.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2481243354434*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2481243354434) to get x
100/1.2481243354434=x
80.120222929936=x
x=80.120222929936

now we have:
1006.31 is 80.120222929936% of 1256
