What is 40.83333333 percent of 245 - 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 245 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 245 is 100%, so we can write it down as 245=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40.83333333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.83333333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 245=100%
2) x=40.83333333%
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:
245/x=100%/40.83333333%
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 40.83333333% of 245

245/x=100/40.83333333
(245/x)*x=(100/40.83333333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
245=2.4489795920367*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4489795920367) to get x
245/2.4489795920367=x
100.0416666585=x
x=100.0416666585

now we have:
40.83333333% of 245=100.0416666585
