251.21 is what percent of 1346.15 - 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 1346.15 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 1346.15, so we can write it down as 100%=1346.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 251.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=251.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1346.15
2) x%=251.21
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%=1346.15/251.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 251.21 is what percent of 1346.15

100%/x%=1346.15/251.21
(100/x)*x=(1346.15/251.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3586640659209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3586640659209) to get x
100/5.3586640659209=x
18.661367603907=x
x=18.661367603907

now we have:
251.21 is 18.661367603907% of 1346.15
