323.1 is what percent of 36.29 - 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 36.29 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 36.29, so we can write it down as 100%=36.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 323.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=323.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36.29
2) x%=323.1
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%=36.29/323.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 323.1 is what percent of 36.29

100%/x%=36.29/323.1
(100/x)*x=(36.29/323.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.11231816774992*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11231816774992) to get x
100/0.11231816774992=x
890.3279140259=x
x=890.3279140259

now we have:
323.1 is 890.3279140259% of 36.29
