288.14 is what percent of 348 - 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 348 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 348, so we can write it down as 100%=348.
4. We know, that x% equals 288.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=288.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=348
2) x%=288.14
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%=348/288.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 288.14 is what percent of 348

100%/x%=348/288.14
(100/x)*x=(348/288.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2077462344694*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2077462344694) to get x
100/1.2077462344694=x
82.798850574713=x
x=82.798850574713

now we have:
288.14 is 82.798850574713% of 348
