3.23 is what percent of 805 - 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 805 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 805, so we can write it down as 100%=805.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=805
2) x%=3.23
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%=805/3.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.23 is what percent of 805

100%/x%=805/3.23
(100/x)*x=(805/3.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=249.22600619195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (249.22600619195) to get x
100/249.22600619195=x
0.40124223602484=x
x=0.40124223602484

now we have:
3.23 is 0.40124223602484% of 805
