90.63 is what percent of 241.68 - 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 241.68 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 241.68, so we can write it down as 100%=241.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 90.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=90.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=241.68
2) x%=90.63
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%=241.68/90.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 90.63 is what percent of 241.68

100%/x%=241.68/90.63
(100/x)*x=(241.68/90.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6666666666667) to get x
100/2.6666666666667=x
37.5=x
x=37.5

now we have:
90.63 is 37.5% of 241.68
