273.4 is what percent of 268.69 - 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 268.69 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 268.69, so we can write it down as 100%=268.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 273.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=273.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=268.69
2) x%=273.4
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%=268.69/273.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 273.4 is what percent of 268.69

100%/x%=268.69/273.4
(100/x)*x=(268.69/273.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98277249451353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98277249451353) to get x
100/0.98277249451353=x
101.7529494957=x
x=101.7529494957

now we have:
273.4 is 101.7529494957% of 268.69
