2.75 is what percent of 34.37 - 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 34.37 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 34.37, so we can write it down as 100%=34.37.
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%=34.37
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%=34.37/2.75
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 34.37

100%/x%=34.37/2.75
(100/x)*x=(34.37/2.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.498181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.498181818182) to get x
100/12.498181818182=x
8.0011638056445=x
x=8.0011638056445

now we have:
2.75 is 8.0011638056445% of 34.37
