2.73 is what percent of 34.79 - 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 34.79 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 34.79, so we can write it down as 100%=34.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.79
2) x%=2.73
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%=34.79/2.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.73 is what percent of 34.79

100%/x%=34.79/2.73
(100/x)*x=(34.79/2.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.74358974359*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.74358974359) to get x
100/12.74358974359=x
7.8470824949698=x
x=7.8470824949698

now we have:
2.73 is 7.8470824949698% of 34.79
