293.21 is what percent of 1100.75 - 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 1100.75 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 1100.75, so we can write it down as 100%=1100.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 293.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=293.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1100.75
2) x%=293.21
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%=1100.75/293.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 293.21 is what percent of 1100.75

100%/x%=1100.75/293.21
(100/x)*x=(1100.75/293.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7541352614167*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7541352614167) to get x
100/3.7541352614167=x
26.63729275494=x
x=26.63729275494

now we have:
293.21 is 26.63729275494% of 1100.75
