234.12 is what percent of 38.46 - 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 38.46 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 38.46, so we can write it down as 100%=38.46.
4. We know, that x% equals 234.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=234.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38.46
2) x%=234.12
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%=38.46/234.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 234.12 is what percent of 38.46

100%/x%=38.46/234.12
(100/x)*x=(38.46/234.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.16427473090723*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.16427473090723) to get x
100/0.16427473090723=x
608.73634945398=x
x=608.73634945398

now we have:
234.12 is 608.73634945398% of 38.46
