110.6 is what percent of 298 - 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 298 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 298, so we can write it down as 100%=298.
4. We know, that x% equals 110.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=110.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=298
2) x%=110.6
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%=298/110.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 110.6 is what percent of 298

100%/x%=298/110.6
(100/x)*x=(298/110.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6943942133816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6943942133816) to get x
100/2.6943942133816=x
37.114093959732=x
x=37.114093959732

now we have:
110.6 is 37.114093959732% of 298
