31.41 is what percent of 373.06 - 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 373.06 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 373.06, so we can write it down as 100%=373.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 31.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=31.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=373.06
2) x%=31.41
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%=373.06/31.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 31.41 is what percent of 373.06

100%/x%=373.06/31.41
(100/x)*x=(373.06/31.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.877109200891*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.877109200891) to get x
100/11.877109200891=x
8.4195571757894=x
x=8.4195571757894

now we have:
31.41 is 8.4195571757894% of 373.06
