34.37 is what percent of 45 - 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 45 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 45, so we can write it down as 100%=45.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45
2) x%=34.37
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%=45/34.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.37 is what percent of 45

100%/x%=45/34.37
(100/x)*x=(45/34.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3092813500145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3092813500145) to get x
100/1.3092813500145=x
76.377777777778=x
x=76.377777777778

now we have:
34.37 is 76.377777777778% of 45
