247.02 is what percent of 865.25 - 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 865.25 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 865.25, so we can write it down as 100%=865.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 247.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=247.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=865.25
2) x%=247.02
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%=865.25/247.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 247.02 is what percent of 865.25

100%/x%=865.25/247.02
(100/x)*x=(865.25/247.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5027528135374*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5027528135374) to get x
100/3.5027528135374=x
28.548974284889=x
x=28.548974284889

now we have:
247.02 is 28.548974284889% of 865.25
