20.98 is what percent of 331.05 - 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 331.05 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 331.05, so we can write it down as 100%=331.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=331.05
2) x%=20.98
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%=331.05/20.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.98 is what percent of 331.05

100%/x%=331.05/20.98
(100/x)*x=(331.05/20.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.779313632031*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.779313632031) to get x
100/15.779313632031=x
6.3374112671802=x
x=6.3374112671802

now we have:
20.98 is 6.3374112671802% of 331.05
