273.1 is what percent of 300.3 - 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 300.3 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 300.3, so we can write it down as 100%=300.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 273.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=273.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300.3
2) x%=273.1
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%=300.3/273.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 273.1 is what percent of 300.3

100%/x%=300.3/273.1
(100/x)*x=(300.3/273.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0995972171366*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0995972171366) to get x
100/1.0995972171366=x
90.942390942391=x
x=90.942390942391

now we have:
273.1 is 90.942390942391% of 300.3
