241.52 is what percent of 2953.6 - 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 2953.6 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 2953.6, so we can write it down as 100%=2953.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 241.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=241.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2953.6
2) x%=241.52
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%=2953.6/241.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 241.52 is what percent of 2953.6

100%/x%=2953.6/241.52
(100/x)*x=(2953.6/241.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.229214971845*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.229214971845) to get x
100/12.229214971845=x
8.1771397616468=x
x=8.1771397616468

now we have:
