2.17 is what percent of 28.36 - 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 28.36 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 28.36, so we can write it down as 100%=28.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28.36
2) x%=2.17
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%=28.36/2.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.17 is what percent of 28.36

100%/x%=28.36/2.17
(100/x)*x=(28.36/2.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.069124423963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.069124423963) to get x
100/13.069124423963=x
7.6516220028209=x
x=7.6516220028209

now we have:
2.17 is 7.6516220028209% of 28.36
