343.17 is what percent of 504.68 - 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 504.68 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 504.68, so we can write it down as 100%=504.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 343.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=343.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=504.68
2) x%=343.17
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%=504.68/343.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 343.17 is what percent of 504.68

100%/x%=504.68/343.17
(100/x)*x=(504.68/343.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4706413730804*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4706413730804) to get x
100/1.4706413730804=x
67.997542997543=x
x=67.997542997543

now we have:
343.17 is 67.997542997543% of 504.68
