868.95 is what percent of 3443 - 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 3443 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 3443, so we can write it down as 100%=3443.
4. We know, that x% equals 868.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=868.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3443
2) x%=868.95
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%=3443/868.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 868.95 is what percent of 3443

100%/x%=3443/868.95
(100/x)*x=(3443/868.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9622532942057*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9622532942057) to get x
100/3.9622532942057=x
25.238164391519=x
x=25.238164391519

now we have:
868.95 is 25.238164391519% of 3443
