341.1 is what percent of 390 - 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 390 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 390, so we can write it down as 100%=390.
4. We know, that x% equals 341.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=341.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=390
2) x%=341.1
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%=390/341.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 341.1 is what percent of 390

100%/x%=390/341.1
(100/x)*x=(390/341.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1433597185576*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1433597185576) to get x
100/1.1433597185576=x
87.461538461538=x
x=87.461538461538

now we have:
341.1 is 87.461538461538% of 390
