231.88 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 231.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=231.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=250
2) x%=231.88
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%=250/231.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 231.88 is what percent of 250

100%/x%=250/231.88
(100/x)*x=(250/231.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0781438675177*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0781438675177) to get x
100/1.0781438675177=x
92.752=x
x=92.752

now we have:
231.88 is 92.752% of 250
