2.34 is what percent of 27000 - 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 27000 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 27000, so we can write it down as 100%=27000.
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%=27000
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%=27000/2.34
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 27000

100%/x%=27000/2.34
(100/x)*x=(27000/2.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11538.461538462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11538.461538462) to get x
100/11538.461538462=x
0.0086666666666667=x
x=0.0086666666666667

now we have:
2.34 is 0.0086666666666667% of 27000
