3.43 is what percent of 236.32 - 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 236.32 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 236.32, so we can write it down as 100%=236.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=236.32
2) x%=3.43
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%=236.32/3.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.43 is what percent of 236.32

100%/x%=236.32/3.43
(100/x)*x=(236.32/3.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.897959183673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.897959183673) to get x
100/68.897959183673=x
1.4514218009479=x
x=1.4514218009479

now we have:
3.43 is 1.4514218009479% of 236.32
