268.17 is what percent of 1250.69 - 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 1250.69 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 1250.69, so we can write it down as 100%=1250.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 268.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=268.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1250.69
2) x%=268.17
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%=1250.69/268.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 268.17 is what percent of 1250.69

(100/x)*x=(1250.69/268.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6637953536936*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6637953536936) to get x
100/4.6637953536936=x
21.441764146191=x
x=21.441764146191

now we have:
