1084.5 is what percent of 2600 - 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 2600 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 2600, so we can write it down as 100%=2600.
4. We know, that x% equals 1084.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1084.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2600
2) x%=1084.5
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%=2600/1084.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1084.5 is what percent of 2600

100%/x%=2600/1084.5
(100/x)*x=(2600/1084.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.397418165053*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.397418165053) to get x
100/2.397418165053=x
41.711538461538=x
x=41.711538461538

now we have:
1084.5 is 41.711538461538% of 2600
