114.18 is what percent of 236.35 - 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 236.35 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 236.35, so we can write it down as 100%=236.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 114.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=114.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=236.35
2) x%=114.18
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%=236.35/114.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 114.18 is what percent of 236.35

100%/x%=236.35/114.18
(100/x)*x=(236.35/114.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0699772289368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0699772289368) to get x
100/2.0699772289368=x
48.309710175587=x
x=48.309710175587

now we have:
114.18 is 48.309710175587% of 236.35
