250% of x is 354. What is x?

250% of 354=885

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume, that the number 354 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 354 is 100%, so we can write it down as 354=100%.

4. We know, that x is 250% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=250%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 354=100%

2) x=250%

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:

354/x=100%/250%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 250% of 354

354/x=100/250

(354/x)*x=(100/250)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

354=0.4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.4) to get x

354/0.4=x

885=x

x=885

885

I hope this helps!
