282.46 is what percent of 299.41 - 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 299.41 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 299.41, so we can write it down as 100%=299.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 282.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=282.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=299.41
2) x%=282.46
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%=299.41/282.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 282.46 is what percent of 299.41

100%/x%=299.41/282.46
(100/x)*x=(299.41/282.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0600084967783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0600084967783) to get x
100/1.0600084967783=x
94.338866437327=x
x=94.338866437327

now we have:
