Answer:
256:265*100 =
(256*100):265 =
25600:265 = 96.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 265 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=265$100%=265.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=256$x%=256.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100%=256(1)
x%=256(2)
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%);
100%/x% = 256/256
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
x%/100%=256/256
-->x=96.6%
Therefore, 256 is 96.6% of 265
