383.34 is what percent of 731.5 - 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 731.5 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 731.5, so we can write it down as 100%=731.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 383.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=383.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=731.5
2) x%=383.34
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%=731.5/383.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 383.34 is what percent of 731.5

100%/x%=731.5/383.34
(100/x)*x=(731.5/383.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9082276829968*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9082276829968) to get x
100/1.9082276829968=x
52.404647983595=x
x=52.404647983595

now we have:
383.34 is 52.404647983595% of 731.5
