153.13 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 153.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=153.13
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%=250/153.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.13 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/153.13
(100/x)*x=(250/153.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6325997518448*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6325997518448) to get x
100/1.6325997518448=x
61.252=x
x=61.252

now we have:
153.13 is 61.252% of 250
