234.37 is what percent of 330.052 - 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 330.052 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 330.052, so we can write it down as 100%=330.052.
4. We know, that x% equals 234.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=234.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=330.052
2) x%=234.37
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%=330.052/234.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 234.37 is what percent of 330.052

100%/x%=330.052/234.37
(100/x)*x=(330.052/234.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4082519093741*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4082519093741) to get x
100/1.4082519093741=x
71.010022663096=x
x=71.010022663096

now we have:
234.37 is 71.010022663096% of 330.052
