345.78 is what percent of 380 - 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 380 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 380, so we can write it down as 100%=380.
4. We know, that x% equals 345.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=345.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=380
2) x%=345.78
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%=380/345.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 345.78 is what percent of 380

100%/x%=380/345.78
(100/x)*x=(380/345.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0989646596102*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0989646596102) to get x
100/1.0989646596102=x
90.994736842105=x
x=90.994736842105

now we have:
345.78 is 90.994736842105% of 380
