268.04 is what percent of 2440.38 - 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 2440.38 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 2440.38, so we can write it down as 100%=2440.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 268.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=268.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2440.38
2) x%=268.04
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%=2440.38/268.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 268.04 is what percent of 2440.38

100%/x%=2440.38/268.04
(100/x)*x=(2440.38/268.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.1045366363229*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.1045366363229) to get x
100/9.1045366363229=x
10.983535351052=x
x=10.983535351052

now we have:
268.04 is 10.983535351052% of 2440.38
