348.75 is what percent of 2145 - 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 2145 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 2145, so we can write it down as 100%=2145.
4. We know, that x% equals 348.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=348.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2145
2) x%=348.75
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%=2145/348.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 348.75 is what percent of 2145

100%/x%=2145/348.75
(100/x)*x=(2145/348.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1505376344086*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1505376344086) to get x
100/6.1505376344086=x
16.258741258741=x
x=16.258741258741

now we have:
348.75 is 16.258741258741% of 2145
