111.25 is what percent of 253.5 - 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 253.5 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 253.5, so we can write it down as 100%=253.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 111.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=111.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=253.5
2) x%=111.25
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:
100%/x%=253.5/111.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 111.25 is what percent of 253.5

100%/x%=253.5/111.25
(100/x)*x=(253.5/111.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2786516853933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2786516853933) to get x
100/2.2786516853933=x
43.885601577909=x
x=43.885601577909

now we have:
111.25 is 43.885601577909% of 253.5
