1962.35 is what percent of 2700 - 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 2700 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 2700, so we can write it down as 100%=2700.
4. We know, that x% equals 1962.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1962.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2700
2) x%=1962.35
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%=2700/1962.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1962.35 is what percent of 2700

100%/x%=2700/1962.35
(100/x)*x=(2700/1962.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3759013427778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3759013427778) to get x
100/1.3759013427778=x
72.67962962963=x
x=72.67962962963

now we have:
1962.35 is 72.67962962963% of 2700
