243.75 is what percent of 273.15 - 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 273.15 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 273.15, so we can write it down as 100%=273.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 243.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=243.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=273.15
2) x%=243.75
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%=273.15/243.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 243.75 is what percent of 273.15

100%/x%=273.15/243.75
(100/x)*x=(273.15/243.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1206153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1206153846154) to get x
100/1.1206153846154=x
89.236683141131=x
x=89.236683141131

now we have:
243.75 is 89.236683141131% of 273.15
