296.43 is what percent of 243 - 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 243 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 243, so we can write it down as 100%=243.
4. We know, that x% equals 296.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=296.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=243
2) x%=296.43
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%=243/296.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 296.43 is what percent of 243

100%/x%=243/296.43
(100/x)*x=(243/296.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.81975508551766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.81975508551766) to get x
100/0.81975508551766=x
121.98765432099=x
x=121.98765432099

now we have:
296.43 is 121.98765432099% of 243
