258.33 is what percent of 369 - 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 369 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 369, so we can write it down as 100%=369.
4. We know, that x% equals 258.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=258.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=369
2) x%=258.33
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%=369/258.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 258.33 is what percent of 369

100%/x%=369/258.33
(100/x)*x=(369/258.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4284055278133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4284055278133) to get x
100/1.4284055278133=x
70.008130081301=x
x=70.008130081301

now we have:
258.33 is 70.008130081301% of 369
