103.41 is what percent of 2317.5 - 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 2317.5 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 2317.5, so we can write it down as 100%=2317.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 103.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=103.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2317.5
2) x%=103.41
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%=2317.5/103.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 103.41 is what percent of 2317.5

100%/x%=2317.5/103.41
(100/x)*x=(2317.5/103.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.410791993037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.410791993037) to get x
100/22.410791993037=x
4.4621359223301=x
x=4.4621359223301

now we have:
103.41 is 4.4621359223301% of 2317.5
