1300.98 is what percent of 2344 - 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 2344 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 2344, so we can write it down as 100%=2344.
4. We know, that x% equals 1300.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1300.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2344
2) x%=1300.98
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%=2344/1300.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1300.98 is what percent of 2344

100%/x%=2344/1300.98
(100/x)*x=(2344/1300.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8017187043613*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8017187043613) to get x
100/1.8017187043613=x
55.502559726962=x
x=55.502559726962

now we have:
1300.98 is 55.502559726962% of 2344
