2.28 is what percent of 24.68 - 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 24.68 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 24.68, so we can write it down as 100%=24.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.68
2) x%=2.28
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%=24.68/2.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.28 is what percent of 24.68

100%/x%=24.68/2.28
(100/x)*x=(24.68/2.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.824561403509*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.824561403509) to get x
100/10.824561403509=x
9.2382495948136=x
x=9.2382495948136

now we have:
2.28 is 9.2382495948136% of 24.68
