268.83 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 268.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=268.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=268.83
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%=335/268.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 268.83 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/268.83
(100/x)*x=(335/268.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2461406837035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2461406837035) to get x
100/1.2461406837035=x
80.24776119403=x
x=80.24776119403

now we have:
268.83 is 80.24776119403% of 335
