43.37 is what percent of 3065.3 - 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 3065.3 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 3065.3, so we can write it down as 100%=3065.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3065.3
2) x%=43.37
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%=3065.3/43.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.37 is what percent of 3065.3

100%/x%=3065.3/43.37
(100/x)*x=(3065.3/43.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=70.677887940973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (70.677887940973) to get x
100/70.677887940973=x
1.4148696701791=x
x=1.4148696701791

now we have:
43.37 is 1.4148696701791% of 3065.3
