230.29 is what percent of 7.34 - 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 7.34 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 7.34, so we can write it down as 100%=7.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 230.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=230.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.34
2) x%=230.29
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%=7.34/230.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 230.29 is what percent of 7.34

100%/x%=7.34/230.29
(100/x)*x=(7.34/230.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.031872855964219*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.031872855964219) to get x
100/0.031872855964219=x
3137.4659400545=x
x=3137.4659400545

now we have:
230.29 is 3137.4659400545% of 7.34
