236.5 is what percent of 1.314 - 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 1.314 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 1.314, so we can write it down as 100%=1.314.
4. We know, that x% equals 236.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=236.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.314
2) x%=236.5
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%=1.314/236.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 236.5 is what percent of 1.314

100%/x%=1.314/236.5
(100/x)*x=(1.314/236.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0055560253699789*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0055560253699789) to get x
100/0.0055560253699789=x
17998.477929985=x
x=17998.477929985

now we have:
236.5 is 17998.477929985% of 1.314
