230.87 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 230.87 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=230.87.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=230.87
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%=250/230.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 230.87 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/230.87
(100/x)*x=(250/230.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0828604842552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0828604842552) to get x
100/1.0828604842552=x
92.348=x
x=92.348

now we have:
230.87 is 92.348% of 250
