123.06 is what percent of 396.75 - 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 396.75 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 396.75, so we can write it down as 100%=396.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 123.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=123.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=396.75
2) x%=123.06
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%=396.75/123.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 123.06 is what percent of 396.75

100%/x%=396.75/123.06
(100/x)*x=(396.75/123.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2240370550951*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2240370550951) to get x
100/3.2240370550951=x
31.017013232514=x
x=31.017013232514

now we have:
123.06 is 31.017013232514% of 396.75
