236.75 is what percent of 237.71 - 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 237.71 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 237.71, so we can write it down as 100%=237.71.
4. We know, that x% equals 236.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=236.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=237.71
2) x%=236.75
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%=237.71/236.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 236.75 is what percent of 237.71

100%/x%=237.71/236.75
(100/x)*x=(237.71/236.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0040549102429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0040549102429) to get x
100/1.0040549102429=x
99.596146565142=x
x=99.596146565142

now we have:
236.75 is 99.596146565142% of 237.71
