243.23 is what percent of 344.5 - 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 344.5 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 344.5, so we can write it down as 100%=344.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 243.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=243.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=344.5
2) x%=243.23
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%=344.5/243.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 243.23 is what percent of 344.5

100%/x%=344.5/243.23
(100/x)*x=(344.5/243.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4163548904329*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4163548904329) to get x
100/1.4163548904329=x
70.603773584906=x
x=70.603773584906

now we have:
243.23 is 70.603773584906% of 344.5
