271.14 is what percent of 705 - 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 705 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 705, so we can write it down as 100%=705.
4. We know, that x% equals 271.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=271.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=705
2) x%=271.14
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%=705/271.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 271.14 is what percent of 705

100%/x%=705/271.14
(100/x)*x=(705/271.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6001327727373*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6001327727373) to get x
100/2.6001327727373=x
38.459574468085=x
x=38.459574468085

now we have:
271.14 is 38.459574468085% of 705
