360.4 is what percent of 3113.7 - 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 3113.7 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 3113.7, so we can write it down as 100%=3113.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 360.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=360.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3113.7
2) x%=360.4
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%=3113.7/360.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 360.4 is what percent of 3113.7

100%/x%=3113.7/360.4
(100/x)*x=(3113.7/360.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.6395671476138*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.6395671476138) to get x
100/8.6395671476138=x
11.574653948678=x
x=11.574653948678

now we have:
360.4 is 11.574653948678% of 3113.7
