343.75 is what percent of 21300 - 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 21300 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 21300, so we can write it down as 100%=21300.
4. We know, that x% equals 343.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=343.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21300
2) x%=343.75
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%=21300/343.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 343.75 is what percent of 21300

100%/x%=21300/343.75
(100/x)*x=(21300/343.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=61.963636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (61.963636363636) to get x
100/61.963636363636=x
1.6138497652582=x
x=1.6138497652582

now we have:
343.75 is 1.6138497652582% of 21300
