340.75 is what percent of 482 - 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 482 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 482, so we can write it down as 100%=482.
4. We know, that x% equals 340.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=340.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=482
2) x%=340.75
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%=482/340.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 340.75 is what percent of 482

100%/x%=482/340.75
(100/x)*x=(482/340.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4145267791636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4145267791636) to get x
100/1.4145267791636=x
70.695020746888=x
x=70.695020746888

now we have:
340.75 is 70.695020746888% of 482
