260.1 is what percent of 957.8 - 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 957.8 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 957.8, so we can write it down as 100%=957.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 260.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=260.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=957.8
2) x%=260.1
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%=957.8/260.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 260.1 is what percent of 957.8

100%/x%=957.8/260.1
(100/x)*x=(957.8/260.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.682429834679*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.682429834679) to get x
100/3.682429834679=x
27.155982459804=x
x=27.155982459804

now we have:
260.1 is 27.155982459804% of 957.8
