324.86 is what percent of 430 - 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 430 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 430, so we can write it down as 100%=430.
4. We know, that x% equals 324.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=324.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=430
2) x%=324.86
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%=430/324.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 324.86 is what percent of 430

100%/x%=430/324.86
(100/x)*x=(430/324.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3236471095241*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3236471095241) to get x
100/1.3236471095241=x
75.548837209302=x
x=75.548837209302

now we have:
324.86 is 75.548837209302% of 430
