220.68 is what percent of 320 - 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 320 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 320, so we can write it down as 100%=320.
4. We know, that x% equals 220.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=220.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=320
2) x%=220.68
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%=320/220.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 220.68 is what percent of 320

100%/x%=320/220.68
(100/x)*x=(320/220.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4500634402755*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4500634402755) to get x
100/1.4500634402755=x
68.9625=x
x=68.9625

now we have:
220.68 is 68.9625% of 320
