43.3 is what percent of 326.5 - 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 326.5 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 326.5, so we can write it down as 100%=326.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=326.5
2) x%=43.3
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%=326.5/43.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.3 is what percent of 326.5

100%/x%=326.5/43.3
(100/x)*x=(326.5/43.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.540415704388*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.540415704388) to get x
100/7.540415704388=x
13.261868300153=x
x=13.261868300153

now we have:
43.3 is 13.261868300153% of 326.5
