What is 24.99 percent of 249.98 - 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 249.98 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 249.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 249.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 249.98=100%
2) x=24.99%
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:
249.98/x=100%/24.99%
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 24.99% of 249.98

249.98/x=100/24.99
(249.98/x)*x=(100/24.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
249.98=4.0016006402561*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0016006402561) to get x
249.98/4.0016006402561=x
62.470002=x
x=62.470002

now we have:
24.99% of 249.98=62.470002
