253.31 is what percent of 2499.43 - 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 2499.43 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 2499.43, so we can write it down as 100%=2499.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 253.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=253.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2499.43
2) x%=253.31
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%=2499.43/253.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 253.31 is what percent of 2499.43

100%/x%=2499.43/253.31
(100/x)*x=(2499.43/253.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.8670798626189*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8670798626189) to get x
100/9.8670798626189=x
10.134710714043=x
x=10.134710714043

now we have:
253.31 is 10.134710714043% of 2499.43
