341.29 is what percent of 490 - 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 490 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 490, so we can write it down as 100%=490.
4. We know, that x% equals 341.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=341.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=490
2) x%=341.29
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%=490/341.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 341.29 is what percent of 490

100%/x%=490/341.29
(100/x)*x=(490/341.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4357291453016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4357291453016) to get x
100/1.4357291453016=x
69.651020408163=x
x=69.651020408163

now we have:
341.29 is 69.651020408163% of 490
