2.76 is what percent of 92.5 - 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 92.5 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 92.5, so we can write it down as 100%=92.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=92.5
2) x%=2.76
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%=92.5/2.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.76 is what percent of 92.5

100%/x%=92.5/2.76
(100/x)*x=(92.5/2.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.514492753623*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.514492753623) to get x
100/33.514492753623=x
2.9837837837838=x
x=2.9837837837838

now we have:
2.76 is 2.9837837837838% of 92.5
