924.6 is what percent of 1340 - 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 1340 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 1340, so we can write it down as 100%=1340.
4. We know, that x% equals 924.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=924.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1340
2) x%=924.6
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%=1340/924.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 924.6 is what percent of 1340

100%/x%=1340/924.6
(100/x)*x=(1340/924.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4492753623188*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4492753623188) to get x
100/1.4492753623188=x
69=x
x=69

now we have:
924.6 is 69% of 1340
