250,000 * .333 = 83,250

83,250/.333 = 250,000

83,250 is what percent of 250,000?

83,250/250,000 = 0.333 > move decimal point to the right two places. 33.3%

The correct answer is 83,333.33.  Interesting.  I multiplied 250,000 x 0.333 to get 83,250.  However, when I multiplied 83,250 x 3.33, I get 249,750.  If I multiply 83,333 x 3, then I get 249,999.   

Good catch, Digger.:)

I also multiplied 250,000 x .333 and got 83,250.  If I further divide 3250 by 33.3, I get 2500, which is 1% of 250,000.  Makes me feel like I got this right.
