22.5 is what percent of 249.98 - 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 249.98 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 249.98, so we can write it down as 100%=249.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=249.98
2) x%=22.5
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%=249.98/22.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.5 is what percent of 249.98

100%/x%=249.98/22.5
(100/x)*x=(249.98/22.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.110222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.110222222222) to get x
100/11.110222222222=x
9.0007200576046=x
x=9.0007200576046

now we have:
22.5 is 9.0007200576046% of 249.98
