23.34 is what percent of 3121.35 - 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 3121.35 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 3121.35, so we can write it down as 100%=3121.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3121.35
2) x%=23.34
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%=3121.35/23.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.34 is what percent of 3121.35

100%/x%=3121.35/23.34
(100/x)*x=(3121.35/23.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=133.73393316195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (133.73393316195) to get x
100/133.73393316195=x
0.7477533759431=x
x=0.7477533759431

now we have:
23.34 is 0.7477533759431% of 3121.35
