345.84 is what percent of 2340 - 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 2340 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 2340, so we can write it down as 100%=2340.
4. We know, that x% equals 345.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=345.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2340
2) x%=345.84
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%=2340/345.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 345.84 is what percent of 2340

100%/x%=2340/345.84
(100/x)*x=(2340/345.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.76613462873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.76613462873) to get x
100/6.76613462873=x
14.779487179487=x
x=14.779487179487

now we have:
345.84 is 14.779487179487% of 2340
