2.07 is what percent of 1720 - 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 1720 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 1720, so we can write it down as 100%=1720.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1720
2) x%=2.07
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%=1720/2.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.07 is what percent of 1720

100%/x%=1720/2.07
(100/x)*x=(1720/2.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=830.91787439614*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (830.91787439614) to get x
100/830.91787439614=x
0.1203488372093=x
x=0.1203488372093

now we have:
2.07 is 0.1203488372093% of 1720
