83.33 is what percent of 1256.67 - 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 1256.67 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 1256.67, so we can write it down as 100%=1256.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 83.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=83.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1256.67
2) x%=83.33
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%=1256.67/83.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 83.33 is what percent of 1256.67

100%/x%=1256.67/83.33
(100/x)*x=(1256.67/83.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.080643225729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.080643225729) to get x
100/15.080643225729=x
6.6310168938544=x
x=6.6310168938544

now we have:
