373.7 is what percent of 101 - 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 101 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 101, so we can write it down as 100%=101.
4. We know, that x% equals 373.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=373.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=101
2) x%=373.7
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%=101/373.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 373.7 is what percent of 101

100%/x%=101/373.7
(100/x)*x=(101/373.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.27027027027027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27027027027027) to get x
100/0.27027027027027=x
370=x
x=370

now we have:
373.7 is 370% of 101
