2.48 is what percent of 3.67 - 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 3.67 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 3.67, so we can write it down as 100%=3.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.67
2) x%=2.48
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%=3.67/2.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.48 is what percent of 3.67

100%/x%=3.67/2.48
(100/x)*x=(3.67/2.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4798387096774*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4798387096774) to get x
100/1.4798387096774=x
67.574931880109=x
x=67.574931880109

now we have:
2.48 is 67.574931880109% of 3.67
