292.83 is what percent of 217.71 - 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 217.71 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 217.71, so we can write it down as 100%=217.71.
4. We know, that x% equals 292.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=292.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=217.71
2) x%=292.83
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%=217.71/292.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 292.83 is what percent of 217.71

100%/x%=217.71/292.83
(100/x)*x=(217.71/292.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.7434689068743*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.7434689068743) to get x
100/0.7434689068743=x
134.5046162326=x
x=134.5046162326

now we have:
