43.04 is what percent of 306.68 - 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 306.68 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 306.68, so we can write it down as 100%=306.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=306.68
2) x%=43.04
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%=306.68/43.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.04 is what percent of 306.68

100%/x%=306.68/43.04
(100/x)*x=(306.68/43.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.1254646840149*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1254646840149) to get x
100/7.1254646840149=x
14.034172427286=x
x=14.034172427286

now we have:
43.04 is 14.034172427286% of 306.68
