234.72 is what percent of 1100.58 - 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 1100.58 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 1100.58, so we can write it down as 100%=1100.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 234.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=234.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1100.58
2) x%=234.72
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%=1100.58/234.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 234.72 is what percent of 1100.58

100%/x%=1100.58/234.72
(100/x)*x=(1100.58/234.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6889059304703*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6889059304703) to get x
100/4.6889059304703=x
21.3269367061=x
x=21.3269367061

now we have:
