325.1 is what percent of 361.6 - 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 361.6 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 361.6, so we can write it down as 100%=361.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 325.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=325.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=361.6
2) x%=325.1
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%=361.6/325.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 325.1 is what percent of 361.6

100%/x%=361.6/325.1
(100/x)*x=(361.6/325.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1122731467241*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1122731467241) to get x
100/1.1122731467241=x
89.905973451327=x
x=89.905973451327

now we have:
325.1 is 89.905973451327% of 361.6
