320.5 is what percent of 348 - 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 348 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 348, so we can write it down as 100%=348.
4. We know, that x% equals 320.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=320.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=348
2) x%=320.5
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%=348/320.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 320.5 is what percent of 348

100%/x%=348/320.5
(100/x)*x=(348/320.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0858034321373*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0858034321373) to get x
100/1.0858034321373=x
92.097701149425=x
x=92.097701149425

now we have:
320.5 is 92.097701149425% of 348
