377.6 is what percent of 1.2 - 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 1.2 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 1.2, so we can write it down as 100%=1.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 377.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=377.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.2
2) x%=377.6
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%=1.2/377.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 377.6 is what percent of 1.2

100%/x%=1.2/377.6
(100/x)*x=(1.2/377.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0031779661016949*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0031779661016949) to get x
100/0.0031779661016949=x
31466.666666667=x
x=31466.666666667

now we have:
377.6 is 31466.666666667% of 1.2
