2.29 is what percent of 71984 - 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 71984 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 71984, so we can write it down as 100%=71984.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=71984
2) x%=2.29
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%=71984/2.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.29 is what percent of 71984

100%/x%=71984/2.29
(100/x)*x=(71984/2.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31434.061135371*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31434.061135371) to get x
100/31434.061135371=x
0.0031812625027784=x
x=0.0031812625027784

now we have:
