23.03 is what percent of 249 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=249.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=249
2) x%=23.03
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%=249/23.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.03 is what percent of 249

100%/x%=249/23.03
(100/x)*x=(249/23.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.811984368215*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.811984368215) to get x
100/10.811984368215=x
9.2489959839357=x
x=9.2489959839357

now we have:
23.03 is 9.2489959839357% of 249
