397.29 is what percent of 4384 - 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 4384 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 4384, so we can write it down as 100%=4384.
4. We know, that x% equals 397.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=397.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4384
2) x%=397.29
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%=4384/397.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 397.29 is what percent of 4384

100%/x%=4384/397.29
(100/x)*x=(4384/397.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.034760502404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.034760502404) to get x
100/11.034760502404=x
9.0622718978102=x
x=9.0622718978102

now we have:
397.29 is 9.0622718978102% of 4384
