373.7 is what percent of 430 - 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 430 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 430, so we can write it down as 100%=430.
4. We know, that x% equals 373.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=373.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=430
2) x%=373.7
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%=430/373.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 373.7 is what percent of 430

100%/x%=430/373.7
(100/x)*x=(430/373.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1506556061012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1506556061012) to get x
100/1.1506556061012=x
86.906976744186=x
x=86.906976744186

now we have:
373.7 is 86.906976744186% of 430
