208.81 is what percent of 303.05 - 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 303.05 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 303.05, so we can write it down as 100%=303.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 208.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=208.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=303.05
2) x%=208.81
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%=303.05/208.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 208.81 is what percent of 303.05

100%/x%=303.05/208.81
(100/x)*x=(303.05/208.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4513193812557*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4513193812557) to get x
100/1.4513193812557=x
68.902821316614=x
x=68.902821316614

now we have:
208.81 is 68.902821316614% of 303.05
