267.97 is what percent of 1085 - 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 1085 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 1085, so we can write it down as 100%=1085.
4. We know, that x% equals 267.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=267.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1085
2) x%=267.97
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%=1085/267.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 267.97 is what percent of 1085

100%/x%=1085/267.97
(100/x)*x=(1085/267.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.0489607045565*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0489607045565) to get x
100/4.0489607045565=x
24.697695852535=x
x=24.697695852535

now we have:
267.97 is 24.697695852535% of 1085
