337.92 is what percent of 916.65 - 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 916.65 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 916.65, so we can write it down as 100%=916.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 337.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=337.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=916.65
2) x%=337.92
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%=916.65/337.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 337.92 is what percent of 916.65

100%/x%=916.65/337.92
(100/x)*x=(916.65/337.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7126242897727*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7126242897727) to get x
100/2.7126242897727=x
36.864670266732=x
x=36.864670266732

now we have:
