336.81 is what percent of 340.54 - 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 340.54 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 340.54, so we can write it down as 100%=340.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 336.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=336.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=340.54
2) x%=336.81
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%=340.54/336.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 336.81 is what percent of 340.54

100%/x%=340.54/336.81
(100/x)*x=(340.54/336.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0110744930376*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0110744930376) to get x
100/1.0110744930376=x
98.904680801081=x
x=98.904680801081

now we have:
336.81 is 98.904680801081% of 340.54
