240.08 is what percent of 3340.08 - 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 3340.08 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 3340.08, so we can write it down as 100%=3340.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 240.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=240.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3340.08
2) x%=240.08
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%=3340.08/240.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 240.08 is what percent of 3340.08

100%/x%=3340.08/240.08
(100/x)*x=(3340.08/240.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.912362545818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.912362545818) to get x
100/13.912362545818=x
7.1878517879811=x
x=7.1878517879811

now we have:
