322.6 is what percent of 1374.45 - 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 1374.45 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 1374.45, so we can write it down as 100%=1374.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 322.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=322.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1374.45
2) x%=322.6
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%=1374.45/322.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 322.6 is what percent of 1374.45

100%/x%=1374.45/322.6
(100/x)*x=(1374.45/322.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2605393676379*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2605393676379) to get x
100/4.2605393676379=x
23.471206664484=x
x=23.471206664484

now we have:
322.6 is 23.471206664484% of 1374.45
