295.7 is what percent of 1320 - 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 1320 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 1320, so we can write it down as 100%=1320.
4. We know, that x% equals 295.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=295.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1320
2) x%=295.7
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%=1320/295.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 295.7 is what percent of 1320

100%/x%=1320/295.7
(100/x)*x=(1320/295.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4639837673318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4639837673318) to get x
100/4.4639837673318=x
22.401515151515=x
x=22.401515151515

now we have:
295.7 is 22.401515151515% of 1320
