341.3 is what percent of 2171.25 - 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 2171.25 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 2171.25, so we can write it down as 100%=2171.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 341.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=341.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2171.25
2) x%=341.3
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%=2171.25/341.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 341.3 is what percent of 2171.25

100%/x%=2171.25/341.3
(100/x)*x=(2171.25/341.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3617052446528*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3617052446528) to get x
100/6.3617052446528=x
15.719055843408=x
x=15.719055843408

now we have:
341.3 is 15.719055843408% of 2171.25
