2.75 is what percent of 241.04 - 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 241.04 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 241.04, so we can write it down as 100%=241.04.
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%=241.04
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%=241.04/2.75
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 241.04

100%/x%=241.04/2.75
(100/x)*x=(241.04/2.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=87.650909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (87.650909090909) to get x
100/87.650909090909=x
1.1408894789247=x
x=1.1408894789247

now we have:
2.75 is 1.1408894789247% of 241.04
