239.31 is what percent of 5250 - 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 5250 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 5250, so we can write it down as 100%=5250.
4. We know, that x% equals 239.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=239.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5250
2) x%=239.31
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%=5250/239.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 239.31 is what percent of 5250

100%/x%=5250/239.31
(100/x)*x=(5250/239.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.938071956876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.938071956876) to get x
100/21.938071956876=x
4.5582857142857=x
x=4.5582857142857

now we have:
239.31 is 4.5582857142857% of 5250
