What is 8.9999 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 8.9999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.9999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 249.98=100%
2) x=8.9999%
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%/8.9999%
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 8.9999% of 249.98

249.98/x=100/8.9999
(249.98/x)*x=(100/8.9999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
249.98=11.111234569273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.111234569273) to get x
249.98/11.111234569273=x
22.49795002=x
x=22.49795002

now we have:
