What is 20.3 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 250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 250=100%
2) x=20.3%
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:
250/x=100%/20.3%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 20.3% of 250

250/x=100/20.3
(250/x)*x=(100/20.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
250=4.9261083743842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9261083743842) to get x
250/4.9261083743842=x
50.75=x
x=50.75

now we have:
20.3% of 250=50.75
