251.98 is what percent of 341.13 - 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 341.13 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 341.13, so we can write it down as 100%=341.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 251.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=251.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=341.13
2) x%=251.98
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%=341.13/251.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 251.98 is what percent of 341.13

100%/x%=341.13/251.98
(100/x)*x=(341.13/251.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3537979204699*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3537979204699) to get x
100/1.3537979204699=x
73.866267991675=x
x=73.866267991675

now we have:
