356.96 is what percent of 391 - 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 391 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 391, so we can write it down as 100%=391.
4. We know, that x% equals 356.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=356.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=391
2) x%=356.96
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%=391/356.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 356.96 is what percent of 391

100%/x%=391/356.96
(100/x)*x=(391/356.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0953608247423*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0953608247423) to get x
100/1.0953608247423=x
91.294117647059=x
x=91.294117647059

now we have:
356.96 is 91.294117647059% of 391
