28.53 is what percent of 256.22 - 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 256.22 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 256.22, so we can write it down as 100%=256.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=256.22
2) x%=28.53
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%=256.22/28.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.53 is what percent of 256.22

100%/x%=256.22/28.53
(100/x)*x=(256.22/28.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9807220469681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9807220469681) to get x
100/8.9807220469681=x
11.134962141909=x
x=11.134962141909

now we have:
28.53 is 11.134962141909% of 256.22
