276.04 is what percent of 264.39 - 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 264.39 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 264.39, so we can write it down as 100%=264.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 276.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=276.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=264.39
2) x%=276.04
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%=264.39/276.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 276.04 is what percent of 264.39

100%/x%=264.39/276.04
(100/x)*x=(264.39/276.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.95779597159832*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.95779597159832) to get x
100/0.95779597159832=x
104.40636937857=x
x=104.40636937857

now we have:
276.04 is 104.40636937857% of 264.39
