250.07 is what percent of 960 - 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 960 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 960, so we can write it down as 100%=960.
4. We know, that x% equals 250.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=250.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=960
2) x%=250.07
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%=960/250.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 250.07 is what percent of 960

100%/x%=960/250.07
(100/x)*x=(960/250.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8389251009717*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8389251009717) to get x
100/3.8389251009717=x
26.048958333333=x
x=26.048958333333

now we have:
250.07 is 26.048958333333% of 960
