270.19 is what percent of 3452.05 - 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 3452.05 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 3452.05, so we can write it down as 100%=3452.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 270.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=270.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3452.05
2) x%=270.19
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%=3452.05/270.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 270.19 is what percent of 3452.05

100%/x%=3452.05/270.19
(100/x)*x=(3452.05/270.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.776379584737*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.776379584737) to get x
100/12.776379584737=x
7.8269434104373=x
x=7.8269434104373

now we have:
