229.95 is what percent of 812.26 - 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 812.26 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 812.26, so we can write it down as 100%=812.26.
4. We know, that x% equals 229.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=229.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=812.26
2) x%=229.95
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%=812.26/229.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 229.95 is what percent of 812.26

100%/x%=812.26/229.95
(100/x)*x=(812.26/229.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5323331158948*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5323331158948) to get x
100/3.5323331158948=x
28.309900770689=x
x=28.309900770689

now we have:
