210.26 is what percent of 240.43 - 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 240.43 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 240.43, so we can write it down as 100%=240.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 210.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=210.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=240.43
2) x%=210.26
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%=240.43/210.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 210.26 is what percent of 240.43

100%/x%=240.43/210.26
(100/x)*x=(240.43/210.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1434890136022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1434890136022) to get x
100/1.1434890136022=x
87.451649128645=x
x=87.451649128645

now we have:
210.26 is 87.451649128645% of 240.43
