34.4 is what percent of 210.6 - 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 210.6 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 210.6, so we can write it down as 100%=210.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=210.6
2) x%=34.4
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%=210.6/34.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.4 is what percent of 210.6

100%/x%=210.6/34.4
(100/x)*x=(210.6/34.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1220930232558*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1220930232558) to get x
100/6.1220930232558=x
16.33428300095=x
x=16.33428300095

now we have:
34.4 is 16.33428300095% of 210.6
