295.14 is what percent of 341.25 - 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 341.25 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 341.25, so we can write it down as 100%=341.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 295.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=295.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=341.25
2) x%=295.14
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%=341.25/295.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 295.14 is what percent of 341.25

100%/x%=341.25/295.14
(100/x)*x=(341.25/295.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1562309412482*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1562309412482) to get x
100/1.1562309412482=x
86.487912087912=x
x=86.487912087912

now we have:
295.14 is 86.487912087912% of 341.25
