244.06 is what percent of 1300.7 - 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 1300.7 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 1300.7, so we can write it down as 100%=1300.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 244.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=244.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1300.7
2) x%=244.06
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%=1300.7/244.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 244.06 is what percent of 1300.7

100%/x%=1300.7/244.06
(100/x)*x=(1300.7/244.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3294271900352*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3294271900352) to get x
100/5.3294271900352=x
18.763742600138=x
x=18.763742600138

now we have:
244.06 is 18.763742600138% of 1300.7
