What is 99.2 percent of 338.75 - 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 338.75 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 338.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 338.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 338.75=100%
2) x=99.2%
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:
338.75/x=100%/99.2%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 99.2% of 338.75

338.75/x=100/99.2
(338.75/x)*x=(100/99.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
338.75=1.008064516129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.008064516129) to get x
338.75/1.008064516129=x
336.04=x
x=336.04

now we have:
99.2% of 338.75=336.04
