2.7 is what percent of 3584.3 - 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 3584.3 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 3584.3, so we can write it down as 100%=3584.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3584.3
2) x%=2.7
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%=3584.3/2.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.7 is what percent of 3584.3

100%/x%=3584.3/2.7
(100/x)*x=(3584.3/2.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1327.5185185185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1327.5185185185) to get x
100/1327.5185185185=x
0.075328516028234=x
x=0.075328516028234

now we have:
2.7 is 0.075328516028234% of 3584.3
