339.06 is what percent of 499 - 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 499 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 499, so we can write it down as 100%=499.
4. We know, that x% equals 339.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=339.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=499
2) x%=339.06
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%=499/339.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 339.06 is what percent of 499

100%/x%=499/339.06
(100/x)*x=(499/339.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.471715920486*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.471715920486) to get x
100/1.471715920486=x
67.947895791583=x
x=67.947895791583

now we have:
339.06 is 67.947895791583% of 499
