436.01 is what percent of 3040.2 - 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 3040.2 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 3040.2, so we can write it down as 100%=3040.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 436.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=436.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3040.2
2) x%=436.01
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%=3040.2/436.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 436.01 is what percent of 3040.2

100%/x%=3040.2/436.01
(100/x)*x=(3040.2/436.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.9727758537648*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9727758537648) to get x
100/6.9727758537648=x
14.341490691402=x
x=14.341490691402

now we have:
436.01 is 14.341490691402% of 3040.2
