236.48 is what percent of 296 - 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 296 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 296, so we can write it down as 100%=296.
4. We know, that x% equals 236.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=236.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=296
2) x%=236.48
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%=296/236.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 236.48 is what percent of 296

100%/x%=296/236.48
(100/x)*x=(296/236.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2516914749662*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2516914749662) to get x
100/1.2516914749662=x
79.891891891892=x
x=79.891891891892

now we have:
236.48 is 79.891891891892% of 296
