339.72 is what percent of 3187 - 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 3187 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 3187, so we can write it down as 100%=3187.
4. We know, that x% equals 339.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=339.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3187
2) x%=339.72
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%=3187/339.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 339.72 is what percent of 3187

100%/x%=3187/339.72
(100/x)*x=(3187/339.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3812551513011*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3812551513011) to get x
100/9.3812551513011=x
10.659554439912=x
x=10.659554439912

now we have:
339.72 is 10.659554439912% of 3187
