369.17 is what percent of 381 - 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 381 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 381, so we can write it down as 100%=381.
4. We know, that x% equals 369.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=369.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=381
2) x%=369.17
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%=381/369.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 369.17 is what percent of 381

100%/x%=381/369.17
(100/x)*x=(381/369.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0320448573828*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0320448573828) to get x
100/1.0320448573828=x
96.89501312336=x
x=96.89501312336

now we have:
369.17 is 96.89501312336% of 381
