259.25 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 259.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=259.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=259.25
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%=335/259.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 259.25 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/259.25
(100/x)*x=(335/259.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2921890067502*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2921890067502) to get x
100/1.2921890067502=x
77.388059701493=x
x=77.388059701493

now we have:
259.25 is 77.388059701493% of 335
