2001.64 is what percent of 2655 - 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 2655 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 2655, so we can write it down as 100%=2655.
4. We know, that x% equals 2001.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2001.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2655
2) x%=2001.64
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%=2655/2001.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2001.64 is what percent of 2655

100%/x%=2655/2001.64
(100/x)*x=(2655/2001.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3264123418797*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3264123418797) to get x
100/1.3264123418797=x
75.391337099812=x
x=75.391337099812

now we have:
2001.64 is 75.391337099812% of 2655
