232.7 is what percent of 3455 - 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 3455 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 3455, so we can write it down as 100%=3455.
4. We know, that x% equals 232.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=232.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3455
2) x%=232.7
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%=3455/232.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 232.7 is what percent of 3455

100%/x%=3455/232.7
(100/x)*x=(3455/232.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.847443059734*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.847443059734) to get x
100/14.847443059734=x
6.7351664254703=x
x=6.7351664254703

now we have:
232.7 is 6.7351664254703% of 3455
