244.79 is what percent of 1168 - 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 1168 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 1168, so we can write it down as 100%=1168.
4. We know, that x% equals 244.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=244.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1168
2) x%=244.79
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%=1168/244.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 244.79 is what percent of 1168

100%/x%=1168/244.79
(100/x)*x=(1168/244.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.771436741697*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.771436741697) to get x
100/4.771436741697=x
20.958047945205=x
x=20.958047945205

now we have:
244.79 is 20.958047945205% of 1168
