158.33 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 158.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=158.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=158.33
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%=250/158.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 158.33 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/158.33
(100/x)*x=(250/158.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5789806101181*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5789806101181) to get x
100/1.5789806101181=x
63.332=x
x=63.332

now we have:
158.33 is 63.332% of 250
