335.44 is what percent of 1271.86 - 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 1271.86 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 1271.86, so we can write it down as 100%=1271.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 335.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=335.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1271.86
2) x%=335.44
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%=1271.86/335.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 335.44 is what percent of 1271.86

100%/x%=1271.86/335.44
(100/x)*x=(1271.86/335.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7916169806821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7916169806821) to get x
100/3.7916169806821=x
26.373971978048=x
x=26.373971978048

now we have:
335.44 is 26.373971978048% of 1271.86
