407.3 is what percent of 131.028 - 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 131.028 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 131.028, so we can write it down as 100%=131.028.
4. We know, that x% equals 407.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=407.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=131.028
2) x%=407.3
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%=131.028/407.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 407.3 is what percent of 131.028

100%/x%=131.028/407.3
(100/x)*x=(131.028/407.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.32169899337098*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.32169899337098) to get x
100/0.32169899337098=x
310.84958940074=x
x=310.84958940074

now we have:
407.3 is 310.84958940074% of 131.028
