323.2 is what percent of 2898 - 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 2898 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 2898, so we can write it down as 100%=2898.
4. We know, that x% equals 323.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=323.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2898
2) x%=323.2
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%=2898/323.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 323.2 is what percent of 2898

100%/x%=2898/323.2
(100/x)*x=(2898/323.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9665841584158*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9665841584158) to get x
100/8.9665841584158=x
11.152518978606=x
x=11.152518978606

now we have:
323.2 is 11.152518978606% of 2898
