What is 248.99 percent of 199.99 - 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 199.99 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 199.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 199.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 248.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=248.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 199.99=100%
2) x=248.99%
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:
199.99/x=100%/248.99%
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 248.99% of 199.99

199.99/x=100/248.99
(199.99/x)*x=(100/248.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
199.99=0.4016225551227*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.4016225551227) to get x
199.99/0.4016225551227=x
497.955101=x
x=497.955101

now we have:
248.99% of 199.99=497.955101
