204.89 is what percent of 329.23 - 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 329.23 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 329.23, so we can write it down as 100%=329.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 204.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=204.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=329.23
2) x%=204.89
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%=329.23/204.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 204.89 is what percent of 329.23

100%/x%=329.23/204.89
(100/x)*x=(329.23/204.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6068622187515*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6068622187515) to get x
100/1.6068622187515=x
62.233089329648=x
x=62.233089329648

now we have:
