244.4 is what percent of 322 - 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 322 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 322, so we can write it down as 100%=322.
4. We know, that x% equals 244.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=244.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=322
2) x%=244.4
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%=322/244.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 244.4 is what percent of 322

100%/x%=322/244.4
(100/x)*x=(322/244.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3175122749591*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3175122749591) to get x
100/1.3175122749591=x
75.900621118012=x
x=75.900621118012

now we have:
244.4 is 75.900621118012% of 322
