244.97 is what percent of 283.65 - 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 283.65 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 283.65, so we can write it down as 100%=283.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 244.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=244.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=283.65
2) x%=244.97
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%=283.65/244.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 244.97 is what percent of 283.65

100%/x%=283.65/244.97
(100/x)*x=(283.65/244.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1578968853329*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1578968853329) to get x
100/1.1578968853329=x
86.36347611493=x
x=86.36347611493

now we have:
