342.371 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 342.371 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=342.371.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=342.371
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%=1/342.371
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 342.371 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/342.371
(100/x)*x=(1/342.371)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0029208081291932*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0029208081291932) to get x
100/0.0029208081291932=x
34237.1=x
x=34237.1

now we have:
342.371 is 34237.1% of 1
