259.7 is what percent of 74880 - 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 74880 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 74880, so we can write it down as 100%=74880.
4. We know, that x% equals 259.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=259.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=74880
2) x%=259.7
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%=74880/259.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 259.7 is what percent of 74880

100%/x%=74880/259.7
(100/x)*x=(74880/259.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=288.33269156719*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (288.33269156719) to get x
100/288.33269156719=x
0.34682158119658=x
x=0.34682158119658

now we have:
