203.4 is what percent of 210.3 - 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 210.3 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 210.3, so we can write it down as 100%=210.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 203.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=203.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=210.3
2) x%=203.4
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%=210.3/203.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 203.4 is what percent of 210.3

100%/x%=210.3/203.4
(100/x)*x=(210.3/203.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0339233038348*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0339233038348) to get x
100/1.0339233038348=x
96.718972895863=x
x=96.718972895863

now we have:
203.4 is 96.718972895863% of 210.3
