251.34 is what percent of 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 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 251.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=251.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=251.34
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%=1/251.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 251.34 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/251.34
(100/x)*x=(1/251.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0039786743057213*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0039786743057213) to get x
100/0.0039786743057213=x
25134=x
x=25134

now we have:
251.34 is 25134% of 1
