243.57 is what percent of 1068.81 - 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 1068.81 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 1068.81, so we can write it down as 100%=1068.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 243.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=243.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1068.81
2) x%=243.57
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%=1068.81/243.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 243.57 is what percent of 1068.81

100%/x%=1068.81/243.57
(100/x)*x=(1068.81/243.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3881019830028*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3881019830028) to get x
100/4.3881019830028=x
22.788896061975=x
x=22.788896061975

now we have:
243.57 is 22.788896061975% of 1068.81
