233.16 is what percent of 255 - 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 255 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 255, so we can write it down as 100%=255.
4. We know, that x% equals 233.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=233.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=255
2) x%=233.16
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%=255/233.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 233.16 is what percent of 255

100%/x%=255/233.16
(100/x)*x=(255/233.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0936695831189*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0936695831189) to get x
100/1.0936695831189=x
91.435294117647=x
x=91.435294117647

now we have:
233.16 is 91.435294117647% of 255
