331.35 is what percent of 1018.85 - 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 1018.85 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 1018.85, so we can write it down as 100%=1018.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 331.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=331.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1018.85
2) x%=331.35
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%=1018.85/331.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 331.35 is what percent of 1018.85

100%/x%=1018.85/331.35
(100/x)*x=(1018.85/331.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0748453297118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0748453297118) to get x
100/3.0748453297118=x
32.5219610345=x
x=32.5219610345

now we have:
