368.4 is what percent of 344 - 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 344 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 344, so we can write it down as 100%=344.
4. We know, that x% equals 368.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=368.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=344
2) x%=368.4
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%=344/368.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 368.4 is what percent of 344

100%/x%=344/368.4
(100/x)*x=(344/368.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.93376764386536*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.93376764386536) to get x
100/0.93376764386536=x
107.09302325581=x
x=107.09302325581

now we have:
368.4 is 107.09302325581% of 344
