308.5 is what percent of 1384 - 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 1384 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 1384, so we can write it down as 100%=1384.
4. We know, that x% equals 308.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=308.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1384
2) x%=308.5
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%=1384/308.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 308.5 is what percent of 1384

100%/x%=1384/308.5
(100/x)*x=(1384/308.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4862236628849*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4862236628849) to get x
100/4.4862236628849=x
22.290462427746=x
x=22.290462427746

now we have:
308.5 is 22.290462427746% of 1384
