90.75 is what percent of 296 - 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 296 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 296, so we can write it down as 100%=296.
4. We know, that x% equals 90.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=90.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=296
2) x%=90.75
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%=296/90.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 90.75 is what percent of 296

100%/x%=296/90.75
(100/x)*x=(296/90.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2617079889807*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2617079889807) to get x
100/3.2617079889807=x
30.658783783784=x
x=30.658783783784

now we have:
90.75 is 30.658783783784% of 296
