362.7 is what percent of 1170 - 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 1170 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 1170, so we can write it down as 100%=1170.
4. We know, that x% equals 362.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=362.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1170
2) x%=362.7
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%=1170/362.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 362.7 is what percent of 1170

100%/x%=1170/362.7
(100/x)*x=(1170/362.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2258064516129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2258064516129) to get x
100/3.2258064516129=x
31=x
x=31

now we have:
362.7 is 31% of 1170
