43.32 is what percent of 233.06 - 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 233.06 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 233.06, so we can write it down as 100%=233.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=233.06
2) x%=43.32
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%=233.06/43.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.32 is what percent of 233.06

100%/x%=233.06/43.32
(100/x)*x=(233.06/43.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3799630655586*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3799630655586) to get x
100/5.3799630655586=x
18.587488200463=x
x=18.587488200463

now we have:
43.32 is 18.587488200463% of 233.06
