339.72 is what percent of 347.49 - 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 347.49 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 347.49, so we can write it down as 100%=347.49.
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%=347.49
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%=347.49/339.72
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 347.49

100%/x%=347.49/339.72
(100/x)*x=(347.49/339.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0228717767573*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0228717767573) to get x
100/1.0228717767573=x
97.763964430631=x
x=97.763964430631

now we have:
