2.04 is what percent of 777.24 - 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 777.24 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 777.24, so we can write it down as 100%=777.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=777.24
2) x%=2.04
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%=777.24/2.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.04 is what percent of 777.24

100%/x%=777.24/2.04
(100/x)*x=(777.24/2.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (381) to get x
100/381=x
0.26246719160105=x
x=0.26246719160105

now we have:
2.04 is 0.26246719160105% of 777.24
