2.74 is what percent of 2.67 - 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 2.67 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 2.67, so we can write it down as 100%=2.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.67
2) x%=2.74
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%=2.67/2.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.74 is what percent of 2.67

100%/x%=2.67/2.74
(100/x)*x=(2.67/2.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97445255474453*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97445255474453) to get x
100/0.97445255474453=x
102.62172284644=x
x=102.62172284644

now we have:
2.74 is 102.62172284644% of 2.67
