236.7 is what percent of 973.1 - 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 973.1 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 973.1, so we can write it down as 100%=973.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 236.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=236.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=973.1
2) x%=236.7
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%=973.1/236.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 236.7 is what percent of 973.1

100%/x%=973.1/236.7
(100/x)*x=(973.1/236.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1111111111111) to get x
100/4.1111111111111=x
24.324324324324=x
x=24.324324324324

now we have:
236.7 is 24.324324324324% of 973.1
