244.17 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 244.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=244.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=244.17
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%=335/244.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 244.17 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/244.17
(100/x)*x=(335/244.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.371994921571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.371994921571) to get x
100/1.371994921571=x
72.886567164179=x
x=72.886567164179

now we have:
244.17 is 72.886567164179% of 335
