2.168 is what percent of 309.33 - 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 309.33 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 309.33, so we can write it down as 100%=309.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.168 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.168.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=309.33
2) x%=2.168
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%=309.33/2.168
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.168 is what percent of 309.33

100%/x%=309.33/2.168
(100/x)*x=(309.33/2.168)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=142.67988929889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (142.67988929889) to get x
100/142.67988929889=x
0.70086962143989=x
x=0.70086962143989

now we have:
