272.83 is what percent of 349.6 - 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 349.6 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 349.6, so we can write it down as 100%=349.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 272.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=272.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=349.6
2) x%=272.83
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%=349.6/272.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 272.83 is what percent of 349.6

100%/x%=349.6/272.83
(100/x)*x=(349.6/272.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2813840120221*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2813840120221) to get x
100/1.2813840120221=x
78.04061784897=x
x=78.04061784897

now we have:
272.83 is 78.04061784897% of 349.6
