34.12 is what percent of 76.28 - 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 76.28 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 76.28, so we can write it down as 100%=76.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=76.28
2) x%=34.12
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%=76.28/34.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.12 is what percent of 76.28

100%/x%=76.28/34.12
(100/x)*x=(76.28/34.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2356389214537*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2356389214537) to get x
100/2.2356389214537=x
44.729942317777=x
x=44.729942317777

now we have:
34.12 is 44.729942317777% of 76.28
