2.52 is what percent of 10.89 - 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 10.89 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 10.89, so we can write it down as 100%=10.89.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.89
2) x%=2.52
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%=10.89/2.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.52 is what percent of 10.89

100%/x%=10.89/2.52
(100/x)*x=(10.89/2.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3214285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3214285714286) to get x
100/4.3214285714286=x
23.140495867769=x
x=23.140495867769

now we have:
2.52 is 23.140495867769% of 10.89
