325 is what percent of 1339 - 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 1339 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 1339, so we can write it down as 100%=1339.
4. We know, that x% equals 325 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=325.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1339
2) x%=325
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%=1339/325
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 325 is what percent of 1339

100%/x%=1339/325
(100/x)*x=(1339/325)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.12*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.12) to get x
100/4.12=x
24.271844660194=x
x=24.271844660194

now we have:
325 is 24.271844660194% of 1339
