302.6 is what percent of 321 - 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 321 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 321, so we can write it down as 100%=321.
4. We know, that x% equals 302.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=302.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=321
2) x%=302.6
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%=321/302.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 302.6 is what percent of 321

100%/x%=321/302.6
(100/x)*x=(321/302.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0608063450099*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0608063450099) to get x
100/1.0608063450099=x
94.267912772586=x
x=94.267912772586

now we have:
302.6 is 94.267912772586% of 321
