336.09 is what percent of 432 - 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 432 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 432, so we can write it down as 100%=432.
4. We know, that x% equals 336.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=336.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=432
2) x%=336.09
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%=432/336.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 336.09 is what percent of 432

100%/x%=432/336.09
(100/x)*x=(432/336.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2853699901812*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2853699901812) to get x
100/1.2853699901812=x
77.798611111111=x
x=77.798611111111

now we have:
336.09 is 77.798611111111% of 432
