260.86 is what percent of 336.62 - 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 336.62 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 336.62, so we can write it down as 100%=336.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 260.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=260.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=336.62
2) x%=260.86
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%=336.62/260.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 260.86 is what percent of 336.62

100%/x%=336.62/260.86
(100/x)*x=(336.62/260.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2904239822127*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2904239822127) to get x
100/1.2904239822127=x
77.493910046937=x
x=77.493910046937

now we have:
