340.54 is what percent of 1734 - 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 1734 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 1734, so we can write it down as 100%=1734.
4. We know, that x% equals 340.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=340.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1734
2) x%=340.54
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%=1734/340.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 340.54 is what percent of 1734

100%/x%=1734/340.54
(100/x)*x=(1734/340.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0919128443061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0919128443061) to get x
100/5.0919128443061=x
19.638985005767=x
x=19.638985005767

now we have:
340.54 is 19.638985005767% of 1734
