936.12 is what percent of 2340.31 - 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 2340.31 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 2340.31, so we can write it down as 100%=2340.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 936.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=936.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2340.31
2) x%=936.12
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%=2340.31/936.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 936.12 is what percent of 2340.31

100%/x%=2340.31/936.12
(100/x)*x=(2340.31/936.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.50001068239*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.50001068239) to get x
100/2.50001068239=x
39.9998290825=x
x=39.9998290825

now we have:
936.12 is 39.9998290825% of 2340.31
