263.23 is what percent of 1114.16 - 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 1114.16 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 1114.16, so we can write it down as 100%=1114.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 263.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=263.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1114.16
2) x%=263.23
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%=1114.16/263.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 263.23 is what percent of 1114.16

100%/x%=1114.16/263.23
(100/x)*x=(1114.16/263.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2326482543783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2326482543783) to get x
100/4.2326482543783=x
23.625870611043=x
x=23.625870611043

now we have:
