235.4 is what percent of 1177.08 - 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 1177.08 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 1177.08, so we can write it down as 100%=1177.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 235.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=235.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1177.08
2) x%=235.4
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%=1177.08/235.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 235.4 is what percent of 1177.08

100%/x%=1177.08/235.4
(100/x)*x=(1177.08/235.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0003398470688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0003398470688) to get x
100/5.0003398470688=x
19.998640704115=x
x=19.998640704115

now we have:
235.4 is 19.998640704115% of 1177.08
