203.45 is what percent of 304 - 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 304 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 304, so we can write it down as 100%=304.
4. We know, that x% equals 203.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=203.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=304
2) x%=203.45
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%=304/203.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 203.45 is what percent of 304

100%/x%=304/203.45
(100/x)*x=(304/203.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.494224625215*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.494224625215) to get x
100/1.494224625215=x
66.924342105263=x
x=66.924342105263

now we have:
203.45 is 66.924342105263% of 304
