What is 252 percent of 108 - 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 108 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 108 is 100%, so we can write it down as 108=100%.
4. We know, that x is 252% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=252%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 108=100%
2) x=252%
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:
108/x=100%/252%
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 252% of 108

108/x=100/252
(108/x)*x=(100/252)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
108=0.3968253968254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.3968253968254) to get x
108/0.3968253968254=x
272.16=x
x=272.16

now we have:
252% of 108=272.16
