2.68 is what percent of 94.7 - 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 94.7 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 94.7, so we can write it down as 100%=94.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.7
2) x%=2.68
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%=94.7/2.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.68 is what percent of 94.7

100%/x%=94.7/2.68
(100/x)*x=(94.7/2.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.335820895522*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.335820895522) to get x
100/35.335820895522=x
2.8299894403379=x
x=2.8299894403379

now we have:
2.68 is 2.8299894403379% of 94.7
