423.31 is what percent of 2304.95 - 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 2304.95 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 2304.95, so we can write it down as 100%=2304.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 423.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=423.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2304.95
2) x%=423.31
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%=2304.95/423.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 423.31 is what percent of 2304.95

100%/x%=2304.95/423.31
(100/x)*x=(2304.95/423.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4450639011599*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4450639011599) to get x
100/5.4450639011599=x
18.365257380854=x
x=18.365257380854

now we have:
423.31 is 18.365257380854% of 2304.95
