282.52 is what percent of 1211.15 - 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 1211.15 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 1211.15, so we can write it down as 100%=1211.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 282.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=282.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1211.15
2) x%=282.52
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%=1211.15/282.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 282.52 is what percent of 1211.15

100%/x%=1211.15/282.52
(100/x)*x=(1211.15/282.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2869531360612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2869531360612) to get x
100/4.2869531360612=x
23.326590430582=x
x=23.326590430582

now we have:
