324.25 is what percent of 291 - 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 291 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 291, so we can write it down as 100%=291.
4. We know, that x% equals 324.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=324.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=291
2) x%=324.25
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%=291/324.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 324.25 is what percent of 291

100%/x%=291/324.25
(100/x)*x=(291/324.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.89745566692367*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.89745566692367) to get x
100/0.89745566692367=x
111.42611683849=x
x=111.42611683849

now we have:
324.25 is 111.42611683849% of 291
