27.31 is what percent of 34.43 - 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 34.43 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 34.43, so we can write it down as 100%=34.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.43
2) x%=27.31
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%=34.43/27.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.31 is what percent of 34.43

100%/x%=34.43/27.31
(100/x)*x=(34.43/27.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2607103625046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2607103625046) to get x
100/1.2607103625046=x
79.320360151031=x
x=79.320360151031

now we have:
27.31 is 79.320360151031% of 34.43
