341.73 is what percent of 3620.2 - 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 3620.2 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 3620.2, so we can write it down as 100%=3620.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 341.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=341.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3620.2
2) x%=341.73
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%=3620.2/341.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 341.73 is what percent of 3620.2

100%/x%=3620.2/341.73
(100/x)*x=(3620.2/341.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.593743598748*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.593743598748) to get x
100/10.593743598748=x
9.4395337274184=x
x=9.4395337274184

now we have:
341.73 is 9.4395337274184% of 3620.2
