290.56 is what percent of 329.5 - 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 329.5 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 329.5, so we can write it down as 100%=329.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 290.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=290.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=329.5
2) x%=290.56
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%=329.5/290.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 290.56 is what percent of 329.5

100%/x%=329.5/290.56
(100/x)*x=(329.5/290.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1340170704846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1340170704846) to get x
100/1.1340170704846=x
88.182094081942=x
x=88.182094081942

now we have:
290.56 is 88.182094081942% of 329.5
