316.68 is what percent of 250 - 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 250 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 250, so we can write it down as 100%=250.
4. We know, that x% equals 316.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=316.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=316.68
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%=250/316.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 316.68 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/316.68
(100/x)*x=(250/316.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.78944044461286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.78944044461286) to get x
100/0.78944044461286=x
126.672=x
x=126.672

now we have:
316.68 is 126.672% of 250
