324.67 is what percent of 889.99 - 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 889.99 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 889.99, so we can write it down as 100%=889.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 324.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=324.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=889.99
2) x%=324.67
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%=889.99/324.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 324.67 is what percent of 889.99

100%/x%=889.99/324.67
(100/x)*x=(889.99/324.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7412141559122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7412141559122) to get x
100/2.7412141559122=x
36.48018517062=x
x=36.48018517062

now we have:
