321.41 is what percent of 330 - 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 330 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 330, so we can write it down as 100%=330.
4. We know, that x% equals 321.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=321.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=330
2) x%=321.41
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%=330/321.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 321.41 is what percent of 330

100%/x%=330/321.41
(100/x)*x=(330/321.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0267259886127*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0267259886127) to get x
100/1.0267259886127=x
97.39696969697=x
x=97.39696969697

now we have:
321.41 is 97.39696969697% of 330
