2.45 is what percent of 3.376 - 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 3.376 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 3.376, so we can write it down as 100%=3.376.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.376
2) x%=2.45
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%=3.376/2.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.45 is what percent of 3.376

100%/x%=3.376/2.45
(100/x)*x=(3.376/2.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3779591836735*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3779591836735) to get x
100/1.3779591836735=x
72.571090047393=x
x=72.571090047393

now we have:
2.45 is 72.571090047393% of 3.376
