244.71 is what percent of 1170 - 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 1170 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 1170, so we can write it down as 100%=1170.
4. We know, that x% equals 244.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=244.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1170
2) x%=244.71
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%=1170/244.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 244.71 is what percent of 1170

100%/x%=1170/244.71
(100/x)*x=(1170/244.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7811695476278*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7811695476278) to get x
100/4.7811695476278=x
20.915384615385=x
x=20.915384615385

now we have:
244.71 is 20.915384615385% of 1170
