382.2 is what percent of 771.1 - 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 771.1 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 771.1, so we can write it down as 100%=771.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 382.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=382.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=771.1
2) x%=382.2
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%=771.1/382.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 382.2 is what percent of 771.1

100%/x%=771.1/382.2
(100/x)*x=(771.1/382.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0175300889587*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0175300889587) to get x
100/2.0175300889587=x
49.56555569965=x
x=49.56555569965

now we have:
382.2 is 49.56555569965% of 771.1
