253 is what percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9, so we can write it down as 100%=9.
4. We know, that x% equals 253 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=253.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=253
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%=9/253
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 253 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/253
(100/x)*x=(9/253)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.035573122529644*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.035573122529644) to get x
100/0.035573122529644=x
2811.1111111111=x
x=2811.1111111111

now we have:
253 is 2811.1111111111% of 9
