228.51 is what percent of 325 - 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 325 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 325, so we can write it down as 100%=325.
4. We know, that x% equals 228.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=228.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325
2) x%=228.51
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%=325/228.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 228.51 is what percent of 325

100%/x%=325/228.51
(100/x)*x=(325/228.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.422257231631*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.422257231631) to get x
100/1.422257231631=x
70.310769230769=x
x=70.310769230769

now we have:
228.51 is 70.310769230769% of 325
