2.34 is what percent of 2.45 - 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 2.45 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 2.45, so we can write it down as 100%=2.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.45
2) x%=2.34
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%=2.45/2.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.34 is what percent of 2.45

100%/x%=2.45/2.34
(100/x)*x=(2.45/2.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0470085470085*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0470085470085) to get x
100/1.0470085470085=x
95.510204081633=x
x=95.510204081633

now we have:
2.34 is 95.510204081633% of 2.45
