2.66 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 2.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.45
2) x%=2.66
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%=2.45/2.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.66 is what percent of 2.45

100%/x%=2.45/2.66
(100/x)*x=(2.45/2.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.92105263157895*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.92105263157895) to get x
100/0.92105263157895=x
108.57142857143=x
x=108.57142857143

now we have:
2.66 is 108.57142857143% of 2.45
