1312.45 is what percent of 1358 - 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 1358 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 1358, so we can write it down as 100%=1358.
4. We know, that x% equals 1312.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1312.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1358
2) x%=1312.45
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%=1358/1312.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1312.45 is what percent of 1358

100%/x%=1358/1312.45
(100/x)*x=(1358/1312.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0347060840413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0347060840413) to get x
100/1.0347060840413=x
96.645802650957=x
x=96.645802650957

now we have:
1312.45 is 96.645802650957% of 1358
