418.49 is what percent of 310 - 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 310 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 310, so we can write it down as 100%=310.
4. We know, that x% equals 418.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=418.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=310
2) x%=418.49
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%=310/418.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 418.49 is what percent of 310

100%/x%=310/418.49
(100/x)*x=(310/418.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.74075844106191*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.74075844106191) to get x
100/0.74075844106191=x
134.99677419355=x
x=134.99677419355

now we have:
418.49 is 134.99677419355% of 310
