1357 is what percent of 1390 - 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 1390 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 1390, so we can write it down as 100%=1390.
4. We know, that x% equals 1357 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1357.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1390
2) x%=1357
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%=1390/1357
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1357 is what percent of 1390

100%/x%=1390/1357
(100/x)*x=(1390/1357)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0243183492999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0243183492999) to get x
100/1.0243183492999=x
97.625899280576=x
x=97.625899280576

now we have:
1357 is 97.625899280576% of 1390
