103.62 is what percent of 402.38 - 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 402.38 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 402.38, so we can write it down as 100%=402.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 103.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=103.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=402.38
2) x%=103.62
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%=402.38/103.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 103.62 is what percent of 402.38

100%/x%=402.38/103.62
(100/x)*x=(402.38/103.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8832271762208*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8832271762208) to get x
100/3.8832271762208=x
25.751776927283=x
x=25.751776927283

now we have:
103.62 is 25.751776927283% of 402.38
