1790.4 is what percent of 22380 - 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 22380 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 22380, so we can write it down as 100%=22380.
4. We know, that x% equals 1790.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1790.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22380
2) x%=1790.4
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%=22380/1790.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1790.4 is what percent of 22380

100%/x%=22380/1790.4
(100/x)*x=(22380/1790.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
100/12.5=x
8=x
x=8

now we have:
1790.4 is 8% of 22380
