254.94 is what percent of 6251 - 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 6251 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 6251, so we can write it down as 100%=6251.
4. We know, that x% equals 254.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=254.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6251
2) x%=254.94
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%=6251/254.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 254.94 is what percent of 6251

100%/x%=6251/254.94
(100/x)*x=(6251/254.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.519494783086*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.519494783086) to get x
100/24.519494783086=x
4.0783874580067=x
x=4.0783874580067

now we have:
254.94 is 4.0783874580067% of 6251
