2.07 is what percent of 28 - 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 28 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 28, so we can write it down as 100%=28.
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%=28
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%=28/2.07
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 28

100%/x%=28/2.07
(100/x)*x=(28/2.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.526570048309*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.526570048309) to get x
100/13.526570048309=x
7.3928571428571=x
x=7.3928571428571

now we have:
2.07 is 7.3928571428571% of 28
