182.71 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 182.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=182.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=182.71
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%=250/182.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 182.71 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/182.71
(100/x)*x=(250/182.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3682885446883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3682885446883) to get x
100/1.3682885446883=x
73.084=x
x=73.084

now we have:
182.71 is 73.084% of 250
