289.54 is what percent of 356.75 - 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 356.75 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 356.75, so we can write it down as 100%=356.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 289.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=289.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=356.75
2) x%=289.54
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%=356.75/289.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 289.54 is what percent of 356.75

100%/x%=356.75/289.54
(100/x)*x=(356.75/289.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2321268218554*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2321268218554) to get x
100/1.2321268218554=x
81.160476524177=x
x=81.160476524177

now we have:
