204.8 is what percent of 337 - 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 337 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 337, so we can write it down as 100%=337.
4. We know, that x% equals 204.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=204.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=337
2) x%=204.8
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%=337/204.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 204.8 is what percent of 337

100%/x%=337/204.8
(100/x)*x=(337/204.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6455078125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6455078125) to get x
100/1.6455078125=x
60.771513353116=x
x=60.771513353116

now we have:
204.8 is 60.771513353116% of 337
