290.25 is what percent of 3224.97 - 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 3224.97 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 3224.97, so we can write it down as 100%=3224.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 290.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=290.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3224.97
2) x%=290.25
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%=3224.97/290.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 290.25 is what percent of 3224.97

100%/x%=3224.97/290.25
(100/x)*x=(3224.97/290.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.111007751938*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.111007751938) to get x
100/11.111007751938=x
9.000083721709=x
x=9.000083721709

now we have:
