251.86 is what percent of 1041.77 - 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 1041.77 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 1041.77, so we can write it down as 100%=1041.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 251.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=251.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1041.77
2) x%=251.86
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%=1041.77/251.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 251.86 is what percent of 1041.77

100%/x%=1041.77/251.86
(100/x)*x=(1041.77/251.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1363058842214*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1363058842214) to get x
100/4.1363058842214=x
24.176161724757=x
x=24.176161724757

now we have:
