63.24 is what percent of 251.39 - 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 251.39 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 251.39, so we can write it down as 100%=251.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=251.39
2) x%=63.24
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%=251.39/63.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.24 is what percent of 251.39

100%/x%=251.39/63.24
(100/x)*x=(251.39/63.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.975173940544*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.975173940544) to get x
100/3.975173940544=x
25.156131906599=x
x=25.156131906599

now we have:
63.24 is 25.156131906599% of 251.39
