To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.


1. We assume, that the number 340 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 340, so we can write it down as 100%=340.

4. We know, that x% equals 260 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=260.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=340

2) x%=260

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%=340/260

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.


7. Solution for 260 is what percent of 340


100%/x%=340/260

(100/x)*x=(340/260)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.30769230769*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.30769230769) to get x

100/1.30769230769=x

76.4705882353=x

x=76.4705882353


now we have:

260 is 76.4705882353% of 340
