207.47 is what percent of 1248 - 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 1248 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 1248, so we can write it down as 100%=1248.
4. We know, that x% equals 207.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=207.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1248
2) x%=207.47
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%=1248/207.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 207.47 is what percent of 1248

100%/x%=1248/207.47
(100/x)*x=(1248/207.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.0153275172314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0153275172314) to get x
100/6.0153275172314=x
16.624198717949=x
x=16.624198717949

now we have:
207.47 is 16.624198717949% of 1248
