82.8 is what percent of 363 - 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 363 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 363, so we can write it down as 100%=363.
4. We know, that x% equals 82.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=82.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=363
2) x%=82.8
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%=363/82.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 82.8 is what percent of 363

100%/x%=363/82.8
(100/x)*x=(363/82.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3840579710145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3840579710145) to get x
100/4.3840579710145=x
22.809917355372=x
x=22.809917355372

now we have:
82.8 is 22.809917355372% of 363
