2.7 is what percent of 897.57 - 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 897.57 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 897.57, so we can write it down as 100%=897.57.
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%=897.57
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%=897.57/2.7
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 897.57

100%/x%=897.57/2.7
(100/x)*x=(897.57/2.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=332.43333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (332.43333333333) to get x
100/332.43333333333=x
0.30081219292089=x
x=0.30081219292089

now we have:
2.7 is 0.30081219292089% of 897.57
