122.59 is what percent of 244.24 - 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 244.24 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 244.24, so we can write it down as 100%=244.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 122.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=122.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=244.24
2) x%=122.59
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%=244.24/122.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 122.59 is what percent of 244.24

100%/x%=244.24/122.59
(100/x)*x=(244.24/122.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9923321641243*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9923321641243) to get x
100/1.9923321641243=x
50.192433671798=x
x=50.192433671798

now we have:
122.59 is 50.192433671798% of 244.24
