206.1 is what percent of 306.1 - 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 306.1 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 306.1, so we can write it down as 100%=306.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 206.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=206.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=306.1
2) x%=206.1
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%=306.1/206.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 206.1 is what percent of 306.1

100%/x%=306.1/206.1
(100/x)*x=(306.1/206.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4852013585638*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4852013585638) to get x
100/1.4852013585638=x
67.330937602091=x
x=67.330937602091

now we have:
206.1 is 67.330937602091% of 306.1
