232.65 is what percent of 380.29 - 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 380.29 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 380.29, so we can write it down as 100%=380.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 232.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=232.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=380.29
2) x%=232.65
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%=380.29/232.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 232.65 is what percent of 380.29

100%/x%=380.29/232.65
(100/x)*x=(380.29/232.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6346013324737*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6346013324737) to get x
100/1.6346013324737=x
61.176996502669=x
x=61.176996502669

now we have:
