236.37 is what percent of 1065 - 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 1065 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 1065, so we can write it down as 100%=1065.
4. We know, that x% equals 236.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=236.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1065
2) x%=236.37
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%=1065/236.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 236.37 is what percent of 1065

100%/x%=1065/236.37
(100/x)*x=(1065/236.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5056479248636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5056479248636) to get x
100/4.5056479248636=x
22.194366197183=x
x=22.194366197183

now we have:
236.37 is 22.194366197183% of 1065
