248.16 is what percent of 1908.95 - 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 1908.95 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 1908.95, so we can write it down as 100%=1908.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 248.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=248.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1908.95
2) x%=248.16
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%=1908.95/248.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 248.16 is what percent of 1908.95

100%/x%=1908.95/248.16
(100/x)*x=(1908.95/248.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6924161831077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6924161831077) to get x
100/7.6924161831077=x
12.999816653134=x
x=12.999816653134

now we have:
248.16 is 12.999816653134% of 1908.95
