19.01 is what percent of 250 - 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 250 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 100% equals 250, so we can write it down as 100%=250.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=19.01
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:
100%/x%=250/19.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.01 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/19.01
(100/x)*x=(250/19.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.150973172015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.150973172015) to get x
100/13.150973172015=x
7.604=x
x=7.604

now we have:
19.01 is 7.604% of 250
