What is 248 percent of 438 - 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 438 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 438 is 100%, so we can write it down as 438=100%.
4. We know, that x is 248% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=248%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 438=100%
2) x=248%
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:
438/x=100%/248%
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 248% of 438

438/x=100/248
(438/x)*x=(100/248)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
438=0.40322580645161*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.40322580645161) to get x
438/0.40322580645161=x
1086.24=x
x=1086.24

now we have:
248% of 438=1086.24
