360.6 is what percent of 420.04 - 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 420.04 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 420.04, so we can write it down as 100%=420.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 360.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=360.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=420.04
2) x%=360.6
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%=420.04/360.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 360.6 is what percent of 420.04

100%/x%=420.04/360.6
(100/x)*x=(420.04/360.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1648363838048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1648363838048) to get x
100/1.1648363838048=x
85.84896676507=x
x=85.84896676507

now we have:
360.6 is 85.84896676507% of 420.04
