347.49 is what percent of 339.72 - 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 339.72 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 339.72, so we can write it down as 100%=339.72.
4. We know, that x% equals 347.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=347.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=339.72
2) x%=347.49
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%=339.72/347.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 347.49 is what percent of 339.72

100%/x%=339.72/347.49
(100/x)*x=(339.72/347.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97763964430631*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97763964430631) to get x
100/0.97763964430631=x
102.28717767573=x
x=102.28717767573

now we have:
