343.82 is what percent of 371 - 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 371 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 371, so we can write it down as 100%=371.
4. We know, that x% equals 343.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=343.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=371
2) x%=343.82
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%=371/343.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 343.82 is what percent of 371

100%/x%=371/343.82
(100/x)*x=(371/343.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0790529928451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0790529928451) to get x
100/1.0790529928451=x
92.673854447439=x
x=92.673854447439

now we have:
343.82 is 92.673854447439% of 371
