98.88 is what percent of 339 - 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 339 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 339, so we can write it down as 100%=339.
4. We know, that x% equals 98.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=98.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=339
2) x%=98.88
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%=339/98.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 98.88 is what percent of 339

100%/x%=339/98.88
(100/x)*x=(339/98.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4283980582524*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4283980582524) to get x
100/3.4283980582524=x
29.16814159292=x
x=29.16814159292

now we have:
98.88 is 29.16814159292% of 339
