239.84 is what percent of 988 - 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 988 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 988, so we can write it down as 100%=988.
4. We know, that x% equals 239.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=239.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=988
2) x%=239.84
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%=988/239.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 239.84 is what percent of 988

100%/x%=988/239.84
(100/x)*x=(988/239.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1194129419613*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1194129419613) to get x
100/4.1194129419613=x
24.275303643725=x
x=24.275303643725

now we have:
239.84 is 24.275303643725% of 988
