361.65 is what percent of 433.98 - 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 433.98 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 433.98, so we can write it down as 100%=433.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 361.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=361.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=433.98
2) x%=361.65
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%=433.98/361.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 361.65 is what percent of 433.98

100%/x%=433.98/361.65
(100/x)*x=(433.98/361.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2) to get x
100/1.2=x
83.333333333333=x
x=83.333333333333

now we have:
361.65 is 83.333333333333% of 433.98
