293.55 is what percent of 1337 - 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 1337 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 1337, so we can write it down as 100%=1337.
4. We know, that x% equals 293.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=293.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1337
2) x%=293.55
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%=1337/293.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 293.55 is what percent of 1337

100%/x%=1337/293.55
(100/x)*x=(1337/293.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5545903593936*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5545903593936) to get x
100/4.5545903593936=x
21.955871353777=x
x=21.955871353777

now we have:
293.55 is 21.955871353777% of 1337
