243.33 is what percent of 203.74 - 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 203.74 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 203.74, so we can write it down as 100%=203.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 243.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=243.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=203.74
2) x%=243.33
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%=203.74/243.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 243.33 is what percent of 203.74

100%/x%=203.74/243.33
(100/x)*x=(203.74/243.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.83729914108412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.83729914108412) to get x
100/0.83729914108412=x
119.43162854619=x
x=119.43162854619

now we have:
243.33 is 119.43162854619% of 203.74
