20 is what percent of 2667 - 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 2667 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 2667, so we can write it down as 100%=2667.
4. We know, that x% equals 20 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2667
2) x%=20
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%=2667/20
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20 is what percent of 2667

100%/x%=2667/20
(100/x)*x=(2667/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=133.35*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (133.35) to get x
100/133.35=x
0.74990626171729=x
x=0.74990626171729

now we have:
20 is 0.74990626171729% of 2667
