2.78 is what percent of 934.95 - 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 934.95 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 934.95, so we can write it down as 100%=934.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=934.95
2) x%=2.78
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%=934.95/2.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.78 is what percent of 934.95

100%/x%=934.95/2.78
(100/x)*x=(934.95/2.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=336.31294964029*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (336.31294964029) to get x
100/336.31294964029=x
0.29734210385582=x
x=0.29734210385582

now we have:
2.78 is 0.29734210385582% of 934.95
