276.65 is what percent of 224.25 - 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 224.25 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 224.25, so we can write it down as 100%=224.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 276.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=276.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=224.25
2) x%=276.65
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%=224.25/276.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 276.65 is what percent of 224.25

100%/x%=224.25/276.65
(100/x)*x=(224.25/276.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.8105909994578*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.8105909994578) to get x
100/0.8105909994578=x
123.36677814939=x
x=123.36677814939

now we have:
