Answer:

256:265*100 =

(256*100):265 =

25600:265 = 96.6

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
