2.84 is what percent of 77.52 - 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 77.52 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 77.52, so we can write it down as 100%=77.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=77.52
2) x%=2.84
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%=77.52/2.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.84 is what percent of 77.52

100%/x%=77.52/2.84
(100/x)*x=(77.52/2.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.295774647887*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.295774647887) to get x
100/27.295774647887=x
3.6635706914345=x
x=3.6635706914345

now we have:
2.84 is 3.6635706914345% of 77.52
