297.71 is what percent of 410 - 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 410 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 410, so we can write it down as 100%=410.
4. We know, that x% equals 297.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=297.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=410
2) x%=297.71
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%=410/297.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 297.71 is what percent of 410

100%/x%=410/297.71
(100/x)*x=(410/297.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3771791340566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3771791340566) to get x
100/1.3771791340566=x
72.612195121951=x
x=72.612195121951

now we have:
297.71 is 72.612195121951% of 410
