268.8 is what percent of 1173.35 - 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 1173.35 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 1173.35, so we can write it down as 100%=1173.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 268.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=268.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1173.35
2) x%=268.8
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%=1173.35/268.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 268.8 is what percent of 1173.35

100%/x%=1173.35/268.8
(100/x)*x=(1173.35/268.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3651413690476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3651413690476) to get x
100/4.3651413690476=x
22.90876550049=x
x=22.90876550049

now we have:
