248.32 is what percent of 20639.1 - 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 20639.1 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 20639.1, so we can write it down as 100%=20639.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 248.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=248.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20639.1
2) x%=248.32
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%=20639.1/248.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 248.32 is what percent of 20639.1

100%/x%=20639.1/248.32
(100/x)*x=(20639.1/248.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=83.114932345361*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.114932345361) to get x
100/83.114932345361=x
1.203153238271=x
x=1.203153238271

now we have:
