385.1 is what percent of 1730.8 - 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 1730.8 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 1730.8, so we can write it down as 100%=1730.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 385.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=385.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1730.8
2) x%=385.1
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%=1730.8/385.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 385.1 is what percent of 1730.8

100%/x%=1730.8/385.1
(100/x)*x=(1730.8/385.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4944170345365*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4944170345365) to get x
100/4.4944170345365=x
22.249826669748=x
x=22.249826669748

now we have:
385.1 is 22.249826669748% of 1730.8
