373.94 is what percent of 289.47 - 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 289.47 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 289.47, so we can write it down as 100%=289.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 373.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=373.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=289.47
2) x%=373.94
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%=289.47/373.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 373.94 is what percent of 289.47

100%/x%=289.47/373.94
(100/x)*x=(289.47/373.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.77410814569182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.77410814569182) to get x
100/0.77410814569182=x
129.18091684803=x
x=129.18091684803

now we have:
