81.04 is what percent of 304.48 - 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 304.48 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 304.48, so we can write it down as 100%=304.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 81.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=304.48
2) x%=81.04
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%=304.48/81.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81.04 is what percent of 304.48

100%/x%=304.48/81.04
(100/x)*x=(304.48/81.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7571569595262*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7571569595262) to get x
100/3.7571569595262=x
26.615869679453=x
x=26.615869679453

now we have:
81.04 is 26.615869679453% of 304.48
