267.06 is what percent of 320 - 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 320 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 320, so we can write it down as 100%=320.
4. We know, that x% equals 267.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=267.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=320
2) x%=267.06
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%=320/267.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 267.06 is what percent of 320

100%/x%=320/267.06
(100/x)*x=(320/267.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1982326069048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1982326069048) to get x
100/1.1982326069048=x
83.45625=x
x=83.45625

now we have:
267.06 is 83.45625% of 320
