247.99 is what percent of 549 - 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 549 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 549, so we can write it down as 100%=549.
4. We know, that x% equals 247.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=247.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=549
2) x%=247.99
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%=549/247.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 247.99 is what percent of 549

100%/x%=549/247.99
(100/x)*x=(549/247.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2137989435058*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2137989435058) to get x
100/2.2137989435058=x
45.171220400729=x
x=45.171220400729

now we have:
247.99 is 45.171220400729% of 549
