240.8 is what percent of 361.1 - 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 361.1 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 361.1, so we can write it down as 100%=361.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 240.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=240.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=361.1
2) x%=240.8
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%=361.1/240.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 240.8 is what percent of 361.1

100%/x%=361.1/240.8
(100/x)*x=(361.1/240.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.499584717608*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.499584717608) to get x
100/1.499584717608=x
66.685128773193=x
x=66.685128773193

now we have:
240.8 is 66.685128773193% of 361.1
