391.29 is what percent of 396.41 - 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 396.41 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 396.41, so we can write it down as 100%=396.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 391.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=391.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=396.41
2) x%=391.29
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%=396.41/391.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 391.29 is what percent of 396.41

100%/x%=396.41/391.29
(100/x)*x=(396.41/391.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.013084924225*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.013084924225) to get x
100/1.013084924225=x
98.708407961454=x
x=98.708407961454

now we have:
