2.75 is what percent of 1.079 - 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 1.079 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 1.079, so we can write it down as 100%=1.079.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.079
2) x%=2.75
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%=1.079/2.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.75 is what percent of 1.079

100%/x%=1.079/2.75
(100/x)*x=(1.079/2.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.39236363636364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.39236363636364) to get x
100/0.39236363636364=x
254.8656163114=x
x=254.8656163114

now we have:
2.75 is 254.8656163114% of 1.079
