331.49 is what percent of 375.25 - 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 375.25 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 375.25, so we can write it down as 100%=375.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 331.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=331.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=375.25
2) x%=331.49
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%=375.25/331.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 331.49 is what percent of 375.25

100%/x%=375.25/331.49
(100/x)*x=(375.25/331.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1320100153851*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1320100153851) to get x
100/1.1320100153851=x
88.338441039307=x
x=88.338441039307

now we have:
331.49 is 88.338441039307% of 375.25
